Gwen Turns 4!

On January 3rd, our Gwennie turned 4 years old! I feel like of all our kids, she has grown up the fastest. She has been so excited for her birthday and counting down the days. She was so happy to wake up and hear that it was finally her day. She got out of bed and said, "I know there are presents downstairs!" I asked her how she knew that and she said, "I just have a feeling!"
It was also her first day of Sunbeams. She has been so ready to ditch Nursery and join the big kids. She loved Primary, but she told Ma that she had been a little nervous. 
 This girl has personality plus and is the term "threenager" has fit her perfectly. Now we'll have to call her a "fournager".
After church we let her open her presents. She only had 3 outfit changes for the day. Typical for our Gwennie. 

 She loves Unicorns and got a Unicorn dress for her big party next week. 
 She also got Frozen slippers. 

 A Doc McStuffin's cd and a stuffed Unicorn made her smile!
 She requested spaghetti and meatballs for her birthday dinner and brownie sundaes for dessert. She asked to say the prayer at dinner and it went like this. Literally. "Dear Heavenly Father, It's my birthday! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." Needless to say, there was lots of laughter at the dinner table that night. 
 We love our big 4 year old and are so grateful for the sunshine she brings to our home and family!
