Happy 4th Birthday Sophie!

This weekend we celebrated Sophie's 4th birthday. On Friday she had a celebration at school. Dave and I got to come in for a special Circle Time, where she presented to the class a poster she made.

She picked these pictures and glued them on herself (luckily I wrote the words on first).

Here we are helping her present it.

Then they do a special ceremony where the birthday kid takes a globe and walks around a candle (to represent the sun) as many times as they are old - so Sophie walked around 4 times while her teacher, Ms. Dhar, talked about significant moments each year in her life. (Yes, she's wearing a Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon t-shirt. She like's it because it has a rainbow...and it's badass). 

And then she shared cookies with all of her classmates. 

On Sunday we had a birthday party for all of her classmates and a few friends from outside of school at a kids gym called Philly InMovement.

Uncle Dick was there with balloon entertainment. 

Sophie did her first handstand!

And I made strawberry cupcakes - a personal request :) 

And at the end of the party she thanked all of her friends for coming. It was a really fun day and she had a great time being the center of attention and FINALLY getting to turn 4 :)
