Happy 4th...Birthday to Payton!

Today is Payton's Golden birthday (meaning she is turning 4 on the 4th).  Oh and yes, it's America's Birthday too.  Payton's festivities began last night when she got to open presents from Auntie J, Uncle Thor, and her cousins (via webcam).

I have no clue what Dylan is thinking in the top picture.  =)  The shirt says "My Auntie Rocks!" (bottom left).

Here's Payton first thing in the morning - we have a 4 year old!

Payton all dressed up and ready to go to...

Cracker Barrel for breakfast!

She ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, a pancake and orange juice.  She ate probably half of the pancake and finished everything else off.  She really was full because when they brought cake and ice cream she only ate 2 bites.  (Don't worry - of course I finished off the rest!)

Little man was pooped after breakfast!  Oh and it's his first 4th of July!!!

We got home and webcamed with Papa Nutt and Gigi so Payton could open more presents!

Then we were off to the movies.  Payton had been wanting to see "...the movie with the girl with the red hair and the bow and arrow..." (Brave).

Eating popcorn and waiting for it to start!

It was a cute movie!

Back home for MORE presents!

Daddy and Baby Boy!

Me and Little Man!

Payton's expressions are priceless when she opens presents.

Papa had the magic touch this afternoon.

Then they had some pool time.

Then cake time!

Payton's request?  Strawberry cake with strawberry frosting.

It was a full and fun day - Payton was pooped.  So it was off to bed!

 

We missed seeing fireworks, but it was still a great day!  Happy 4th birthday to my beautiful and sweet little girl!
