Happy Birthday Camilla!!

This Saturday was our Millie's birthday and what did she want... to go to a place to paint her finger nails and toenails. Where does she get this? I don't get my fingernails done, she has never gone to a salon. She is so funny. So we picked up her friend Jane and we set off for the salon. She picked pink and purple - shocker. :) 

The girls were loving it, they were so perfect and it was so adorable. 

Oh just drying.  

Millie was in heaven. 

Then she picked Chick Fila for lunch.  

And Snow Monster for dessert. 

It was a pretty fabulous day. She was very happy. Then on Sunday we had her friends over to sing and have cupcakes. She chose watermelon cupcakes and loved being the center of attention. 

We certainly love our Millie girl. She has so much spunk and personality. She is without a doubt my child that tries my patience the most and will be the one that causes me the most gray hairs I have no doubt. She can throw a fit like nobody's business but she is also the first to climb in your lap and cuddle (especially if you will scratch her). She is the most excited to see you when you walk in the door and the sweetest big sister to Brooke you have ever seen. Camilla is very creative and loves to draw and color and paint. She loves to sing and dance and do gymnastics. She has us all wrapped around her finger and my heart melts every morning when she wakes up.

 Last week I was trying to get out the door to do a quick visit to a friend and I wanted to go alone (a rare treat for me!) and Camilla started throwing a fit that she wanted to go with me. I was in a hurry so I told her to come with me and we left. I was noticeably annoyed that I wasn't alone and when Brooke saw Camilla go she wanted to go with us too. I was frustrated and then Camilla said to me, "Mom do you know why I want to be with you all the time?" Why?  "Because I love you. I just love you so much I want to be with you all the time."

Needless to say my heart melted and I felt horrible for ever being annoyed that she wanted to come with me. I am going to make a better effort to show her how much I love her and love being with her. 

We know the saying is, "If Mamma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." But in our house its "if Millie isn't happy, nobody is happy." :) 

Happy 4th Birthday Camilla!!
