My how birthdays have changed

Far gone are the days where you race up and down the stairs to break a balloon in the end. Birthdays for some of these little girls are different. Blue got the opportunity to go to her friend Maddie's 4th birthday. It was a Pinky's Salon. All of the little girls got to have manicures, pedicures, and massages. Seriously, I'm not kidding, Blue said, Mommy I really like this. We should do this all the time." Here are the girls.

They got to choose two colors. One for hands, one for toes.

Blue immediately grabbed the blue polish. (that's my child) After she realized she got another choice she picked light pink for her hands.

Notice the cup of sparkling cider near my little darling.

I kept profusely thanking this woman for doing the stuff for Blue. It was strange. I felt very out of my element.

Here they are!

She even got a little crystal in the middle of the flower on her toe. =)

Ok.......I'm a little behind. Kitty proof christmas tree with just enough room for Santa to get in. Stockings were hung along with a tasty treat for Santa and the reindeers.
