Today is Princess Chloe Mariah's birthday!  The celebration for her birthday was stretched out this time because of the holiday weekend..  but she had a blast!

Last week my mom, aka Teetee, came over and helped Chloe make this purse cake from Betty Crocker. 

 Chloe has been looking forward to making this cake for months and she loved doing it!  I think that we will be making all of the birthday cakes from now on..

Lauren and Tatum worked on this cake together.

We celebrated Saturday night with a cookout and then we went to watch the fireworks.

This is the princess viewing the fireworks..  My Dad picked out this crown for her, and she has hardly taken it off.  She even wore it to church on Sunday.  Hey, I figure I am always telling her she's a daughter of the Most High King (it's even the title of my blog), she IS a princess!

Then today, we had a few of her little girl friends from church over to play...

Here they are!  Aren't they cute?  They painted little clay figurines, watched Strawberry Shortcake, had lunch with icecream and cookies, chased butterflies, and played "house".  They had so much fun today!  Also, my friend Tara brought the girls over and stayed to play with us too!  Thank you Tara!  They all helped Chloe have a very fun and special day.

At four years old Chloe is sweet and fun, strong willed and demanding (we're working on that).  She comes up with the funniest things.  Today she came to me and said "Mommy I always wanted you as my mommy.  You're just the cutest mommy."  I said, "Oh you think so?"  And she said, "Yeah mommy, you are so cute.  Go look at you, look how cute you are." 

Oh how precious she is!  :-)  I am so blessed to have her as my little girl!  Happy 4th Birthday Chloe bo Boey!  I love you!
