We're officially finished celebrating Molly's birthday now. Year four festivities included a family party in Denver, cake at home on the big day, birthday push-up pops and gift bags at school, and a big birthday bash last weekend at the playground and beach. What?! We didn't mean to drag out Molly's birthday so much. It just kind of happened.
The birthday celebration at school was a little anti-climactic. I felt bad not including her school friends in the weekend party, but there were just too many kids to invite and I didn't want to leave anyone out. It was fun to see her class at snack time, but I made a mistake with the gift bags. The cute Sofia the First and Spider Man markers I included weren't washable. Molly colored with them when we got home and made a total mess on her hands. I hope the other parents aren't annoyed!

I think we had our biggest success with the birthday party at Evanston Lighthouse playground and beach. It just couldn't have gone any better. The day before the party, it rained cats and dogs. Jason and I were a little nervous because we didn't exactly have a back-up plan for 35 people. But we totally lucked out with the weather and the day of the party was absolutely gorgeous, warm and sunny with low humidity. We ended up with a great turnout. All the kids played well together at the park. And then a big group of us also hit the beach after lunch for a little sand play and fun splashing around in the lake.

| Mark was the master of the tire swing and had all the kids giggling like crazy |

| Even the little kids got into the fun -- Lucy and James had a blast swinging with Grandpa |

| Can't go wrong with pizza and cupcakes. Happy fourth birthday, Molly! |
