Janelle's 4th birthday

I think its safe to say that Janelle's 4th birthday was everything she could have ever dreamed it could be this year.  Steiners offered to come play in the pool with her from 3-5 (you can see them throwing her around in a circle above) and then they came to the bbq afterwards.  We had dad and Brenda, Stan and Jane, Jill and her boys, us and Steiners.  We had hamburgers, brats, salads, beans and cake for dessert.  Janelle wanted a pink cake with strawberries which has so far been the easiest cake I've ever made,  Jill and Kandace actually decorated it.  It was a great celebration for Janelle.

At 4 Janelle:
*loves Daniel Tiger and can sing all the songs off of it.."when you need to go potty, stop and go right away, flush and wash and be on your way."  I could listen to her sing that all day long
*sings all day, even with vibrato.  Mom commented on her little vibrato when she was here, saying she's never heard a 3 year old with vibato
*loves to swim at the pool
*is very friendly to everyone, making friends and smile to everyone
*is starting preschool this fall!
*just started saying apple right.  she used to say ah-poo. melts my heart
*love love loves her baby sister
*loves to imagine, be dramatic and role play with Kandace
*loves her dad to the moon.  she cries for him every day when he's gone
*is a tender heart and gets sad easily
Janelle you are a joy and an amazing addition to our family!
