The Hicks Clan: December 2009

Well, I am behind again. On November 6, 2009, our little girl turned 4. It is hard to believe! Michelle is so fun. She keeps all of us laughing all of the time. She loves to talk and talk and talk. She also loves to dance. The one thing we love about Michelle is how she will stop what she is doing just to come in and ask if we are okay or to tell us that she loves us.

On her actual birthday we had a little party at home for her with just Michelle, Charles, Mom, and Dad. It is quiet and small but we enjoy being able to celebrate the kids as a family.

For her cake, she just wanted the confetti icing and these princess crown candles.

This was her favorite present from Charles. It was a little tea pot house for Tinkerbell with little furniture and a little tiny Tinkerbell.

On the Saturday after Michelle's birthday, she wanted to party at Chuck E. Cheese's. We invited a few friends and all of the family to come play games and celebrate with Michelle. She was so very excited.

This is some of the group that came to celebrate.

Here is a picture of Michelle's cake. I made it for her. She wanted it filled with strawberries and to look like a castle. This turned out pretty good for the disaster it started out to be.

And what trip to Chuck E. Cheese's would be complete without playing hundreds of games. Here is Charles playing air hockey against Uncle Mike while Aunt Carol cheers them both on.
