Happy Birthday Nina

Our lovable Nina turned 4 yesterday! Despite what I may have led many of you to believe, Matt and I have thoroughly enjoyed having this girl around for the past 4 years. She is mostly a delight, with a pinch of "spirit". A happy birthday to our fabulous Nina!

We kicked off the festivities with a family birthday party celebrating all January and February birthdays. Here are Cambri and Nina, we didn't get Ellie, Zach or Kelly in the picture. Well, actually, I think we may have gotten a little bit of Zach in the edge there. Sorry to Ellie and Kelly though.


Her beautiful cake is another story. I'm sure you can make a guess as to what happened.



Nina loved the barbies, horse and makeup that she got from her Bentley grandparents and cousins. I was reminded why I should have listened to my instincts. I was hoping that maybe since she would be turning 4, she would magically know how to be more responsible with her makeup. Her carpet paid the price for my wishful thinking.

Then on her birthday, she followed suit of several others and requested Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast.



Nina had a little treasure hunt to find her presents. Her Marshall grandparents will be happy to know that
1. they got her a scooter and helmet for her birthday
2. she totally loved them
She also got her favorite Star Wars character, Ahsoka, from her Great Grandma Leys and a fairy coloring book from her Great Aunt Mary. We thought they would like to know what they got her too.
