Raylee's 4th Birthday

We got home from our DC trip Sunday evening and Raylee's birthday was Monday. No rest for the weary here. ;)

We began her big day with a tea party with her friends from church. The girls all seemed to have lots of fun. Raylee loved all the presents she received. It was a great little party.

The party goers.

We had my mother in law and her mother in town also. They had come to keep the kids while we went to DC so they stayed for the birthday celebrations. Raylee chose lunch at Spring Creek BBQ (Leland has warped all our kids) after the tea party.

After school was out we took Raylee to Claires to get her ears pierced. She has been begging to get them done for a year now so we finally decided to for her birthday. She was so excited - it was adorable. She did cry as expected, but she loves them now.

Ryland helped take care of his little sister.

It took Dad to make it through the second ear.

That evening we had a family party. We had our neighbors come over and we picked up our friend Donna's granddaughters to join us. Raylee loved having everyone over for her party.

Raylee has decided she doesn't like cake so we had a cookie instead.

Happy Birthday my Raylee girl!
