Happy 4th birthday Buttercup!

I can't believe my baby girl is 4! She had a princess party at home with family and some friends and a little celebration at her daycare school. Here she is in all her jewels!

Thank you all for the kind words!

No, I am not allowed to wear tiara's. She'll take it off my head and wear two if she has to. She's quite clear right now that she is the only princess in the house!
