Lydia is 4!!!

 

Happy birthday to our cute little firecracker!!! How lucky are we to have her as part of our family? She fills us with laughter, teaches us patience, loves Jesus (she ran up to a statue of him in the store the other day and was so excited that she almost knocked it over!) has never-ending energy, loves life and is a precious child of God.  We love you, Lydia!

For her birthday, Lydia wanted to go see Gma & Gpa (if only she could have seen ALL of her Gma’s and Gpa’s---that would have been AWESOME!) and it just so happened to be the same weekend as Yoder Days (how convenient!  Birthday wishes coming true AND Mom’s Amish fix appeased!).  We had a fun Saturday but Lydia took a late nap after being out in the hot sun all day so she couldn’t sleep that night!  This is her on her birthday eve around 11 pm…excited and NOT tired!

This is one of her presents---she’s been wanting a big girl bike forever!  Sadie made a cute scavenger hunt for her to find it, which was really fun.  The skirt she’s wearing is one the Gma Sessions made her….sparkly eyelet!  You’ll have to click on the picture to make it bigger so you can see it…it’s so cute! Lydia was VERY excited to wear it to church today. Thanks Grandma!

The BIG BIRTHDAY GIRL!  (I made these cupcakes & frosting gluten & dairy-free so that Chuck could eat them and no one even noticed! They all wanted 2nds---who knew?!  YAY!)
