Starting with the night before, December 4....
At a friend's house performing in the "show" the kids prepared.
Ramsey is very serious about her twirling.
Lately, Ramsey has not been interested in staying in her room when it's bedtime. We found her here in our bed with Bella, with the lights on. She used to sleep like this when she was an infant.
Onto her birthday, December 5....
Birthday morning!
Birthday poster.
Silly face.
She is getting so tall!
Friends Jacey, Lillie, and Calvin.

We played pin the star on the Christmas tree.

Ramsey and Daddy cuddle. Matt stayed home from work and enjoyed Ramsey all day.
Mommy helping the girls with necklaces.
The crafting table. We made ornaments, Christmas trees, necklaces, and Christmas puppets
(all crafts purchased at Michael's). Ramsey is an avid crafter.
When I asked her what kind of party she wanted, she said "plain."
She only wanted to invite girls, but was fine with little brothers attending
(the only boy she wanted to invite was a friend's little brother, but not the actual friend himself).
She later said she wanted Christmas decorations, so, that's what she got!
You are our girl, we love you so much. You are independent, easy-going, and just glorious. Mommy loves the quiet afternoons spent watching "Huckle Cat" (Richard Scarry's Busytown Mysteries), crafting, doing reading lessons, working on chores, and reading. Daddy loves Saturday Daddy-daughter dates going to estate sales and grabbing frozen yogurt (and other treats) together. You are a quick runner and have a long attention span. You are sensitive and quick to point out when someone has hurt your feelings. You are a listener and you like to tease your brother. You are not demanding and you do not ask for much. This year for Christmas you asked for a jewelry box and a house for Blue Doggie. You also said we should get Daddy a new phone for Christmas.
You are asthmatic, but your asthma is under control (you take 2 puffs of a Flovent inhaler each morning during cold and flu season) and we are hopeful that you will outgrow it. When you start coughing and wheezing, we give you 2 puffs of a ProAir (Albuterol) inhaler or liquid Albuterol through a nebulizer (a 15-minute breathing treatment). You undergo these treatments willingly and are very compliant. You are otherwise healthy, and at your 4 year visit your weight was 34.2 pounds (44%), your height was 40 inches (57%), and your BMI was 15.05 (41%).
We love you and are so happy you are in our forever family.
xoxoxoxo,
Mommy and Daddy
I love these posts! You do such a great job of documenting everything--I can't wait for Ramsey to read this in 20 years and know how much she has been loved her whole life!
ReplyDeleteI adore the letter you wrote her. What a lucky girl to have such a treasure of little details form her mom when she grows up.
ReplyDeleteAnd I feel so lucky we got to be part of the fun! Warner parties are the most fun. And they have the best food too.
