Here Comes the Bride

April Fools, it's Auretta's birthday! (I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Auretta will be sick of this whole april's fool birthday stuff way before I am.) Bridal shower invitations, bouquets for all the girls, a wedding cake, veil, and Auretta's personal favorite, a new wedding dress from Grandma Lunt made the wedding birthday a blast! I had a ton of fun planning and decorating. Wedding's are a lot more fun when they're for a 4 year old, lot less stress (and cheaper). I also thoroughly enjoyed her excited girly giggle. Before her nap which was right before her party, she asked, "Mom are you going to wear a dress?" After I answered in the affirmative, she giggled. I could hear her giggling periodically for the next 10 minutes over the intercom. Oh, I love her! On her real birthday (Conference Sunday) Michael and Clarissa came down and we made some hamburger cupcakes.
She's emotional and girly and just wonderful. She has an incredible memory, continually sings and dances, and is a great manager, just ask David. I'm grateful for our little girl! I think both Chad and I at one point or another thought how someday it won't be a April's Fools joke but a real wedding. And somehow it made us realize it will go too fast. She'll grow too fast. So right now I'll treasure that little giggle and give her an extra big hug and kiss tonight.

What a lucky little girl? What four-year old girl wouldn't want to have a wedding birthday party? That's even better than a princess party.

So cute.
