OUR LITTLE SWEETIE

four years ago today a little bundle of joy was born to our family. With the pregnancy of Sofia, we did not find out her gender. needless to say the anticipation of her birth was very high. i so wanted a sister for annelies and rob was hoping for a boy. rob's mind was changed instantly the second he saw her. she was beautiful, tiny, and elegant. She was born almost the minute that my grandmother passed away. i am convinced that their souls met somewhere in between, because sofia reminds me so much of my g'ma cook. she is spunky, small, full of personality, hilarious, unpredictable, and full of energy. i love this girl. she brings so much laughter and brightness to our family. i am constantly laughing at something she says, even if it does require her mouth being washed out with soap! sofia loves her brothers and sisters and LOVES her friends. she is such a sweet little girl and is always trying to make everyone happy.

for her fourth birthday she wanted to have a birthday party at her favorite restaurant ~ Chick-fil-A. so lucky for me, they have parties and all i had to do was buy the lunches. Chick-fil-A did everything else from balloons and decorations and FOOD and ice cream. it was perfect for her and the kids had a great time. too bad it was raining, so the kids couldn't play outside on the playground. 

on sunday we had all of the local family over. Nanny, Poppy, Aunt Rissa, Uncle Scott, Beckham, Uncle Ben, Grammy and Wyndell all came to celebrate with us. Sofia got so many great presents including a bike, helmet, princess ball, ballet clothes, garden set, book bag, barbies, tinker bell movie, coloring books, lotions and lip glosses, a hoolahoop (that nico has mastered), and our first family webkin! 

*************HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEET SOFIA!!!***************
