Our Kari-belle is FOUR! And to mark this big event in our little girl's life, we decided to celebrate for a whole week! (Truthfully, her birthday fell on a Wednesday which is a busy day/night for us and so we had family over on a Sunday evening, opened presents with "just us" on Wednesday night, and then her party the following Saturday.) But we loved it b/c we love this fancy little girl!
Sunday night, we had the family over for cake and presents. Kari wanted a Nutcracker cake. Normally, I would have been brave and attempted to do it myself. But, with a busy week and lots to do, I decided to delegate the task to a nice baker we have gotten to know at Target. She did such a great job too! (I still prefer the taste of a homemade cake, but it sure was a time and sanity saver!)
Decorations for this evening were pretty simple. I used some of the decor that we were going to use for her party and then added some pictures of our sweet girl through the years!
Soon it was time for Kari's favorite part, the presents! She got quite a few cute clothes and jewelry. She was very excited!
Once the gifts had been unwrapped it was time for cake. Make a wish!
Wednesday came around soon enough (or not soon enough for Kari) and it was THE BIRTHDAY! Kari donned one of her cute new outfits and soaked up all the attention!

| Little sis just had to get in the shot :-) |
 |
| Look at those little cheeks! Sooo cute! |
I took the girls to story time at the library where we sang, danced, and they even sang, "Happy Birthday" to Kari!
 |
| She was practicing some of her dancing moves! |
Later that evening, the party continued and Kari opened the gifts that we had bought her.
 |
| Emily had even used some of her own money to buy Kari a Rapunzel head that you can style her hair! So thoughtful :-). |
 |
| Christian got Kari a soccer ball |
It was such a fun birthday for our little Kari. She's growing up so quickly, it's hard to believe that she's already four! We love her so much!
