Esther's 4th Teddy Bear Tea Party

Esther has been looking forward to her 4th birthday..for a long time. A while back she asked if we could have a teddy bear tea party and invite a few friends. We had the full teddy bear theme with teddy grahams, teddy bears, teddy bear treasure hunt, and a teddy bear cake! We asked all the guests to wear dress-up clothes and bring their favorite teddy bear. Since her birthday falls a few days before Christmas on December 22, we had the party yesterday. It was a fun time. Daddy was the 'Activities Director" and had lots of fun games with a teddy bear theme. (He's had lots of practice in this area). I asked her what her favorite part was about the whole party and she said, "THE ICE CREAM." A girl after my own heart. We are so thankful for our little girl who is growing up too quickly!

Here's some pictures from our trip to New Jersey to Shannon's parents over Thanksgiving. We squeezed a lot in a week: Thanksgiving, Christmas (early), and Esther & Maddy's birthday. We had a fun time!
