Today we had a birthday party for CC. I cannot believe she is only turning 4. She is a little busy body...a grown-up in a kid body. I don't write that much about her, because she is really hard to explain (you kinda gotta meet her)...also, I don't want her to have a chip on her shoulder about anything I write. She is extremely verbal (talking perfectly since 18 months)...has strong opinions and is very quirky. She makes alot of funny faces, its hard to snap a picture of her where she isn't making a face. She was my very easiest baby, until she was about 15 months old, when she really blossomed into a busy, busy person with LOTS of ideas. I really had to baby-proof EVERYTHING. I had already had 2 boys and thought they were pretty wild, but I was in for a huge surprize. I found out that they were pretty mild toddlers, compared to my little CC. When she was little, we called her "miss entitlement". She hasn't changed much. She is named for Joey's mission (and a NCAA basketball title) and also after my mom, Connie Jones. I love this daughter with all my heart. She is spunky, and funny and strong.
Here are pictures from her party today.
I let Carolina choose one friend from the ward to invite. This is her buddy Mandy.
Ashley had me take a picture of these sisters holding hands. Cute.
It was a "Littlest PetShoppe" party. Here is her Jello poke cake, just like I used to have.
This is a picture of Carolina freaking out when she opened Grandma Connie's present.
Minnie Mouse from Eliza. (CC LOVES minnie!)
Joey was in charge of games.
Carolina with the afore-mentioned gift.
It was a great party. A special thank you to Gramy too, she brought a wonderful tea set the week before, I have pictures I will post later of the fun that ensued. Also, thanks AHA....your package came to our door right before the party started and Carolina was THRILLED to get something in the mail!

Okay..things I like about this post. First, I like that you spelled "surprise" with a Z in the first paragraph. hee hee. Second, I love Grace's outfit. Kate has the Exact same one! Third, I love Joey in the firs picture of the kids playing games. He looks like he's really trying to make sure everything is under control and all the rules are being followed. And last, I love CC's "googly" eyes on the last picture. Such a funny girl. Happy B-day CC! We love you!
She's only 4- I thought she was more like 23?!!!
I love Carolina...it's so fun to see the "grown-up in a kid body" when I watch her.
I feel so behind on blogs. I'm glad I got to catch up. Your anniversary looked amazing. Congrats on the baby girl! Happy Birthday to CC!
