Where has the time gone? I still remember most of my pregnancy with Etta as if it were last year. I can't believe she's gone from a 4 pound baby to this little lady. She's become outgoing, athletic, and studious these last two years.
Etta had been asking for an art themed birthday party so when I saw a groupon for
The Social Paint Brush I snapped it up. She was able to pick out which painting her friends would paint at the party out of many different paintings. I was surprised she picked a dancing owl since that is Chloe's favorite animal, not Etta's. Here are a few highlights from the party.

| For some reason her friends love picking her up and carrying her around. |

| A pre-party beverage for Chloe (hence the favorite owl). |

| Our instructor for painting, Eric. |

| Let's go! |

| The only boy allowed at the birthday party (minus dad of course), Kade. |

| Chloe loved painting her owl! |

| All done and even signed. |

| One happy birthday girl. |

Etta's birthday party was actually before her real birthday since she had a gymnastics meet the following weekend. We didn't want to have a conflict since you don't have the gym schedule until usually the week before so that's why her party was a little early this year. So, the celebration continued the day of her birthday and you should have seen her bound down those stairs in the morning. Here she is greeting her dad with a super grin.
Eric took the day off of work so she could open her presents in the morning rather than wait until near bedtime to open them (which is when he normally gets home). She had some amazing family presents to open and even her BFF who just moved to New Mexico sent her a gift. Let's just say this smile was plastered on her face for nearly a week!
My little girl...she's getting so big.
