A Great day to be FOUR!

I know that as we get older, we tend to shy away from the birthday thing.  The whole "aging" process sometimes gets us down...and I understand that...

However, birthdays aren't just about getting older or about the presents...it's about celebrating the day that you came to BE!  I, for one, am very thankful for the birthdays of those that I love...and though I VERY often forget the actual dates, I do not forget to be thankful that they are in my life.

This sweet girl had her birthday recently and her Mommy & Daddy wanted to be sure to capture her day...it's not everyday that someone turns the big FOUR! Time really starts flying too...it's at this age that the baby voice starts to go away, the toddler-ish looks turn into Big Girl expressions...

They had everything set with balloons, flowers, a special dress and even a big bouncy ball!  We had a wonderful time running around in that beautiful light!

I'm sure her smile will be contagious!!!
