Sydney's Birthday

Now don't judge me too harshly when I post these pictures.  I know Sawyer didn't get a birthday party, and Sydney's was over the top.  Anyway, judge if you want.  I'm a bad mom.  Sydney turned four on the 29th of August.  She is the light of our little family.  She has such personality and attitude.  I am frequently getting a look and a hand on the hip and a little toe pop when she doesn't want to do something.  Here are her stats.  She weighs 32 lbs 8 oz (25%), and she is 4 ft 3 inches tall (75%).  She is healthy and happy most of the time.  The only fits she throws are when I ask her to clean up her messes.  She's a good kid, and extremely funny.  We love her and we are so happy that Heavenly Father blessed us with this little beam of sunshine. 

For Sydney's birthday she wanted a Wizard of Oz party. She loves that movie. This was quite a task for me, but I think we pulled it off. I got ideas from the wonderful website One Charming Party. She invited some of her friends over and we had a party. When the kids got here we decorated "Dorothy" house shaped cookies. It was funny to see the difference between the girls and the boys. The girls loved decorating and the boys, well, they loved the candy. After we decorated houses, we played pin the heart on Tin Man. Nick drew a marvelous tin man so we could play the game. After tin man we had a wizard of oz trivia game. They knew quite a bit. After the trivia game we played a mean game of duck duck goose. So funny. This kids were so cute. We then opened presents. Sydney loved all the presents. Then we had cake and no ice cream. Isn't that so mean of me. Anyway, enjoy the pictures.
