Naomi turned 4 three days after we had Violet. Thankfully, Nana and Papa were here to help make the day special. I was able to come home on Saturday, and it was Naomi's birthday Sunday. We put her hair in curlers the night before, and she looked like a princess with such cute curls the next day. Naomi opened her presents in the morning, and then everyone went to church except for Violet and me. We sent treats with Naomi to church and she shared them with her sunbeam class. After church, we had a delicious dinner my dad made and then had ice cream and cake. It was a pretty low key day, but so nice and wonderful being together as a family outside of the hospital.
Then Monday, Naomi was in charge of the snacks for her preschool class. Dad and I took her to preschool and sent little cupcakes as part of her treats. She was so excited to be the snack helper and have everyone sing to her. She felt pretty special!
I really wanted to have a party with Naomi's friends since everyone is moving away after this year. Since we had Violet so close to her birthday, we had to wait a few weeks till I was feeling up to it. On April 30 we had a princess tea party with all of her little girl friends her age. It was a blast. We had Emma and Maggie Garner, Sara Merrill, and Paisley Gardner come over. We had all kinds of little tea party treats. Then the girls played Kiss the Frog, Mermaid Races in garbag bags, and then we had a dance party. The girls had so much fun and it was really cute to see them all dressed up in their princess dresses. I'm glad we were able to have a little party for her before we all moved away. It brought so much joy to see her playing and enjoying her little friends. We have been so blessed to have such great friends out here in Des Moines. We will miss them lots!
