"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-Ay...."

"My oh my what a wonderful day..."

Or Days in our case. Bailey turned 4 a couple of weeks ago and to celebrate this poor underprivileged (ha) child had parties with each side of our family - one in Idaho and one in Arizona, Trevor and myself (on the actual day) and that little trip to Disneyland we talked about in the last blog post. To say this child is spoiled and well loved would be a huge understatement. I am completely biased (and I know this), but she really is a funny and enjoyable child. It's hard to know if she is so well loved by everyone because she is the miracle we hoped for and waited so long for or if she is just that spectacular. Maybe a combination of both. We certainly are grateful for her everyday and are so blessed to be her parents. So happy birthday my baby girl - or as she likes to remind me, "I'm a big girl mommy...". Don't grow up on us too fast Miss B.

Bailey "understood" that her birthday was after her parties and Thanksgiving so she insisted on telling everyone that she was pretending to turn four. "It's my pretend birthday..."

Idaho Granat Party:

Arizona Smith Party and Thanksgiving Fun:

 She was pretty excited about winning the Gingerbread house in the family Thanksgiving raffle. Caleb in the background was less a little less happy. Ha. We let her put it together (with a little help) the day after we got home on her actual birthday.

We are definitely ready for Christmas especially with the "marshmallow world" that is now the City of Salt. I finally am feeling better after multiple rounds of antibiotics and the use of sexy oxygen while my lame lungs heal. For those that I haven't made treats for  - you might just have to wait for New Year's.

We hope you all have a wonderful rest of December and we will see you next year!

This can be heard pretty much anytime at our house or in our car. She likes a big finish at the end and calls this the "Loudest Song..."She definitely nails the "loudest" part. Funny girl. :)
