Looking Back...December 9...Zoey's Birthday Dinner

Zoey's December 9th birthday seemed to last for weeks this year!  When you live in two places, you're bound to celebrate your daughter's birthday several times.  And so we did.

Zoey's birthday always begins with our visit from Elf!  Somehow, he always knows to show up the morning of Zoey's big day and then sticks around until Christmas.  This year, Elf decorated our dining room table light and was perched up on top.  He even spelled out Happy Birthday in one of Zoey's favorite things...M&Ms!  What a fun sight to wake up to on your birthday!


Zoey made goody bags to pass out to her classmates (little notepads of paper, a pencil, stickers, and a small pot of playdoh) and brought in Snickerdoodle cookies for her class.  I heard they were a hit!

And for dinner, we kept with what felt right and just celebrated at home with The Guscott's.  I made dinner and cupcakes and we had a Birthday in Pajamas Evening.


 We opened a few gifts...





And sang Happy Birthday...



And ate delicious, Betty Crocker boxed-mix cupcakes!


Notice how Kaia doesn't take her eyes off of the cupcake!  Yes, she got one...how could I say no?!?



Happy 4th Birthday, Zoey!
And the next morning, Elf had moved...
