Ah, To Be Four Again...

Rachael had a birthday party this weekend to celebrate turning four. The usuals were there minus Connie and Dave who were in Florida, hiding in the air conditioning. The weather was decent enough for the kids to go out and play on the swing set and with a bit of silly string. I guess being at a fourth birthday party made some of the older kids feel a little nostalgic of their own time when they could swing without a care in the world, never having to worry what people were thinking of them (see picture of Noah below). Others did not seem so happy to have their picture taken at a time when they might also have been reliving their youth (see picture of Phoebe below). The kids got along very well together, which for the most part is always the case. Presents were opened with much enthusiasm. Upon receiving an outfit with a matching set for her doll, Rachael became very elated, what set her over the edge though as she proclaimed was that, "there's a hanger too!". Happy Birthday Rachael! May your fourth year be completely fever free.
