P is 4

Yesterday was P's big day.  Four.  She has been talking about this birthday for a very long time.

She hopped out of bed and dove into her "4" shirt.  As soon as she was dressed she had to check herself out, she could hardly believe her bday was finally here!

She rushed in to the shower to show papa her shirt...sorry I didn't capture his reaction, I trust he loved the shirt...

Happily posed for some bday photos...

Figured out her fingers...

Almost...

Voila!

Time does fly by...it is impossible to believe her bro turned four 18 months ago.  As soon as I took the shot above, I had a sense of deja vu...didn't take long to find W's "Four is Super" pose.

Birthday girl was not interested in zipping up her coat after school

She was interested in a birthday skate on the way home from school.

The kids both got new skates in the morning, so they were eager to take them for a spin.  We are loving the Rijks ice rink, which is set up until February!  I plan to keep the skates in the bike and fit in skating as much as we can over the next few months.  Sunset (or any other time of day) skate sessions complete with cocoa, twinkle lights, friends, hot wine, holiday tunes, the museum backdrop...all less than a mile from our front door.  Amsterdam is magical right now went all out for P's birthday.

P's strap on skates allow for fashion and function.

All of this yesterday, and her party is tomorrow.  Being four is pretty awesome so far.
