It's A Big STELLAbration!!! HAPPY 4th BDAY Stella!!!!

OUR LITTLE GIRL IS.....FOUR!!!!

 


  

 HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET SWEET STELLA!

Actual Birthday

Wed. August 21, 2013

– 4 days before her party –

Stella awakes to a Birthday Donut adorned with 4 candles, Mommy sings her Happy Birthday as her Brother Tuck watches....Stella then requests to re-light the candles, be handed her plated donut, and she proceeds to then sing Happy Bday to Mommy :)

HER BIRTHDAY DAY WAS FILLED WITH:

• Afternoon Playground Fun with Mommy & Tucker

• Daddy comes home from work and we head toToys R' Us where Stella is told she gets to pic out her Very First Bike!

• Her Bday Evening is topped off with Dinner & Ice Cream at Steak & Shake with Peeto, Jeamma & Papa, Aunt Amy & Uncle Todd, Mommy & Daddy (it was going to be a late night so Tucker enjoyed some one-on-one fun with Tonya) and JoNannie, we missed you but anxiously awaited your arrival at her party back from Vermont!

Tucker was such a good boy for me....sleeping in till 10:30 the next day
