Jessie's actual birthday

Jessica Marie was very blessed by her family on her birthday. She awoke to pancakes & whipped cream with fruit. Daddy had to leave for work early on her birthday, so she & Ella both got up to see him off & Daddy had a special surprise for Jessie. He had gotten her 2 special necklaces, he gave her the 1st to wear to school that day. She is not a morning person, but later when it was time for preschool, she was so excited to wear her special necklace from daddy. She told everyone at school that Daddy had given it to her & that it is "magical". She was also spoiled by the grandparents & her Aunt, Uncle, & Cousins. She received many nice gifts, including lots of dress-up pretties from my folks & a new booster car seat from G&G Passineau. She also enjoyed a number of calls from family on her birthday, which she really got & loved this year. Nuna & Pawpaw called to sing to her as did Great Aunt Bonnie. G&G Passineau called to speak with her also & she especially loved getting an individual call from Grandpa in the evening. At school, she got to wear the special birthday crown & be the line leader. Ella & I were invited to snack time & the girls & I had prepared a special snack for her birthday. We made fresh fruit cups with all of Jessie's favs...apple, grapes, & strawberries & we dipped pretzel rods in melt-able vanilla yougart & rolled them in sprinkles...the kids loved these! The little kids in her class sang to her, which was precious (video below--quality is bad, sorry). After school, her best friend, Luke came over to bring her a little something. He brought a handmade card, balloons, & a puzzle for Jessie. It was so sweet! Truth be told, Luke's mommy & I are trying to arrange a marriage :) In the evening, once daddy was home we got pizza for dinner, a favorite of Jessie's & then had cupcakes to celebrate her 4th.
