Birthdays are so much fun for little ones and Audrey was so excited about her 4th birthday! This was the first year we did a friend birthday party for her. Since she has an older sister who has them, she wanted one as well. And she's now old enough with friends from church that it's worth it. We kept it simple and met at a park. We had a picnic, the kids played on the playground, and then of course there were cupcakes. I had some games planned, but we never did them. The kids were all happy just playing. Last minute we changed the date on her birthday party. It was supposed to be on the 10th, but of course that's the day a cold front was scheduled to come through. Classic! I had watched the weather for weeks... So, last minute we switched it to Friday, the 7th, and only one of her friends couldn't make it. It was such a nice day and I was glad we were able to switch. Audrey loved having a friend birthday party. She likes to be able to do things her sister does... Here are a few pictures from Audrey's friend party:

Swinging (the only option at this particular park is baby swings):
Friends (we missed a few due to them heading home):
On Audrey's actual birthday, the 11th, we had fun celebrating some more. She woke up to a new bike! Andy wasn't sure what time he would be home that evening and I wanted her to be able to ride it on her birthday. So, that worked out well...
Audrey had Joy School that day and loved having her friends sing to her there. After school we met up with the Mackays at a church indoor playscape. Audrey and Chase had fun playing together. After Rachel got home from school they enjoyed riding their bikes outside. Andy actually ended up getting home at a decent time - I think somewhere around 6 pm. We were able to have dinner and then let this anxious girl open the rest of her presents. She was so spoiled by grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. She LOVED all of her presents...
However, I think her favorite present was her guitar. She got up and started jamming as soon as we got it out of the box:
