Grandparent party: birthday part 2

Since we divided Lydia's birthday celebrations into a friend portion and a family portion, she's been calling the latter the "Grandparent Birthday Party" for days. We were so grateful to have our families around on Saturday night to celebrate 4 years of our little girl.

We went swimming in St. George Grandma's pool and had a hot dog cookout and then opened presents. Unfortunately, Derek's dad was quite ill and not able to be there but Lydia was more than happy to pose for pictures for him on the gift he picked out: Her first 2 wheeled bike with princesses on it! She jumped right out of the pool and started riding as soon as Grandma wheeled it outside.



Naturally she needed a helmet -- thanks Daddy for picking the Dora the Explorer one. She was so excited!




So stylish!

My parents gave her this beautiful carousel horse as a nod to her absolute love for the carousel. She keeps looking over at it and saying, "my horse is so beautiful!" I hope it represents something sentimental to her one day about her childhood because it already has that kind of meaning to me.

Her very first Barbie doll. Holy cow! Are we already to this stage? I love it.

Connor got in on the action as best he could.

Lydia and Mommy. I love this little girl!!!
Not really sure why we're both wearing our reunion shirts here, don't be confused. We are not at the reunion, we just love the shirts :)


Great-Grandma Grady even brought Connor a gift. So thoughtful!
Thanks to everyone who spoils this little girl rotten! We love you!
