J was so happy to start her career in Ballet! ;) She told me that she has been practicing for this her whole life!
We wondered if she may be a little nervous for her first dance recital on stage...but she wasn't at ALL! :0D
I usually just surprise my kiddos with a birthday theme... but this little request was just too cute! She wanted a party with family and friends, and cake with giraffes, and 4 candles! :) Mom Bee made these adorable giraffe cupcakes.
We had her party at the birthday party room, at a local church with lots of special family and friends.

Lots of little monkeys next to the big tree...
What a happy, busy day! She was sound asleep by the time we got home!
