Jamie's birthday, almost two weeks late!

I figured I'd best get these pictures posted before Morgan's birthday, because then I'll just be so far behind that....well, I won't catch up. Our little Valentine turned FOUR on the 14th! Hard to believe it's really been that long that she's been with us. She still has so much "baby" in her, but don't you dare try to slow down this big girl! Her day (Valentine's Day will now forever be Jamie's...I'm just kind of stuck out in left field from here on out. Good for Pete, not so good for me!) started out with her choice (not mine....notice all that RED!) of heart-shaped Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast. Hey, we're usually insistant upon healthy breakfasts, so once a year, what can it hurt? She didn't want a cake, so I guess this was an okay alternative.

Can you say "YUM"?

After breakfast, we headed out into town for a homeschool group meeting where Jamie got to show off her Birthday Girl tee shirt, and then we went to....GULP.....Chuck E Cheese's for lunch and a very LOUD playtime for the girls. That was the singlemost expensive pizza I have ever bought! But oh well....we haven't been since the older two were 6 and 8, so I guess it was "time".
Big bro Jon even showed up (with the girlfriend he wouldn't introduce as his girlfriend) for about fifteen minutes. Good thing Jamie was too transfixed by all the revelry to notice he'd skipped out. Shelby enjoyed Jon's lap, though! Slobber face!
That cool Birthday Girl tee she was so proud to wear:
And of course, the cheesy faced gift-opening grin:

Happy 4th Birthday, Jamie Bug, I hope you enjoy being the "same age" as your big sister for a couple of weeks!
