Cute little Zane

Time for the glamourous and fabulous Fashion Show!! Twirl that pretty skirt, darling!

All the models posing for the photoshoot! (The girls were actually a bit shy for this part, but I still think they liked it!)

Graceful Gift opening!

Tea Cups were decorated to perfection for the craft.

The Ross girls, hard at work to make their tea cups so lovely!

Such attitude, with her legs crossed and all! Such a little lady!

The line-up for Personalized Parfaits! Pretty girls all dressed in their most exquisite attire!

Don't forget the "little pretties"

Time for the Birthday girl to blow out her candles... hey Kedric blew them out before she could! "hey, its MY birthday!" (this was hilarious)

Let's Try again! Make a wish my sweet little pumpkin!

Daddy even got in on it and helped color Princess dresses for her new paper doll! What a guy!

SOO Happy!

It really was a great day! She loved every moment of it and I'm so glad. I'm also glad its over! :) Merci Everyone! Thank you for making it such a great party!

Current obsession?...

Do you become obsessed with something for a week or two and a time... whether it be a song, music, tv show, crafting, etcc... WellI do, and since work is slow and I've been able to actually surf the web, blog stalk, etcc... this is my new current obsession - Looking at wedding pictures. What is the deal with that? Well, it started with me looking up ideas for my Mom who is doing a wedding in a few weeks and needing a little inspiration for flowers - so I started looking. I can't beleive the endless possibilities out there! Wow. I loved my wedding, but if I were to do it all over different. I would have to have 10 different receptions because they all need a certain theme and it would be too hard for me to decide. Maybe I should become a wedding planner afterall. :) Here are some of my favorite blogs:

Happy 4th Birthday Maizyn!

I can't believe Maizyn is 4!! She is such a little sweetheart and has grown up so much this past year. I'm really proud of her and what a smart little girl she is.

Milestones of the past year:

learning how to write her name all by herself

identifying most letters of the alphabet and writing them

counting to 20

moving from nursery to Primary

taking swimming lessons

learning how to put in DVD's and movies and starting them all by herself.

identifying seasons and days of the weeks

learning some basic math

....and I'm sure many more

That's all I can think of right now, but I know she has become such a big girl and its a little bittersweet for me as her Momma. I don't want her to grow up, but I'm also very proud of her when I see her little mind developing and how many things she learns on a daily basis.

She still loves all the girly things (dancing, singing, barbies, princesses, dress-up, etc...) One of her favorite things to do is color pictures and make crafts. She is very much an artist and its hard to choose which projects to keep since she makes around 5 a day! :) We look foreword to her being a 4 year old. Maizyn started preschool last week and I think she really liked it. However, the days are long as I leave her 3 full 8 hour days a week. Her teacher says she's great until about 3:30 then starts to really miss me. Luckily I get to pick her up around 4:30, so she's not there into the evening. I'm sure it will get better with time and I know she will learn a lot. We also have plans to put her in ballet or dance, and of course more swimming lessons. Right now we are getting used to our new schedules, but once we all feel a little bit more comfortable, we will add more activities.

I love you Maizyn. I'm so proud to be your Mom and sometimes feel inadequate because you are such an incredible little Spirit. Thank you for being my sweet little girl. Happy 4th Birthday!
