Paige turns 4

My youngest daughter is officially 4 years old. Oh, how we love her and all she brings to our family. She wanted to go to Grandma's house to celebrate her birthday with her cousins. We all packed up and headed down south to watch general conference and have a party for Paige. She was so excited about the kitchen being decorated that she would not fall asleep on Friday night. Saturday morning we thought that she would want Cal's doughnuts for breakfast. She said that she wanted pancakes instead. As adults we were shocked and had Matt and Dad do a doughnut run anyway!! We watched both sessions of conference and then we had a little party for Paige. She got the Tangled Tower and doll, Tangled books, Tangled movie and an outfit. Paige thinks that she looks like Tangled and she loves the movie, so she was all Tangled out for her birthday! Happy Birthday my little Paigey.

Saturday was the final 4 and so the Krebs family was decked out in Kentucky apparel.

While we played games, Gannon sucked on a sucker. He loved it.

The spanking machine.
Everyone lined up youngest to oldest and Paige scrambled through the tunnel of spanking.

Go Paige!

Carter be nice.

On her official birthday we had a little party with 3 of her friends. The 3 friends were boys and they graciously wore a princess crown. We played bingo, pin the tail on the donkey and the candy game.

Paige's gift from Ethan. A Pillow Pet!

Ryan gave her sunglasses, bubbles and coloring book.

We bought her the Tangled soundtrack. Paige loves to sing, When will my life begin?.
Truthfully Tangled is one of my favorite movies and I was excited to hear the music all through our house.

Grandma and Grandpa came from Eugene.
Paige loves her grandparents.

After everyone left Paige's party, we started to put kids to bed and began working feverishly on Carter's science project. He wanted to know if all brands of bubble gum blow the same size of bubble. It was due today. What a night.

This was the final display that Carter did with the help of Matt and I.

He gave Matt & I big thank you hugs.

Carter loves his dad. Matt is very creative and made this project look even better. Good luck Carter! He will be displaying it at school on Thursday.

Happy Birthday Paige, we love you!! That looked like such an amazing birthday(s). I love the cake, the spanking machine tradition, the fact that her friends were boys and wore the crowns, and that she will sing the songs from Tangled. Haha, so cute. I just watched that movie and I love it too! Gannon is adorable! What good parents you are to stay up late and help Carter with his project. I will have to remember Ice Breakers :) Love you guys!
