Jordan turns 4!

Happy 4th Birthday to our biggest girl!  I pray you always love life the way you do today and that you get excited about the little things like staying in a hotel or eating fruit snacks. You love Moana, Belle, Cinderella and Princess Poppy and every song they sing. You ask to wear a long dress every day when we get home and twirl around our living room like your very own dance floor. You are soaking everything in and learning at a rate that surprises us every day. You are so smart, kind, loving and silly...very, very silly!

Your spark is undeniable and contagious, captivating people that know you well and even those that you just meet. You are the sweetest spirit and a better big sister, loving Taylor more than we could ever imagine. Your constant "I love you" and desire to be close to us and those you love melts our heart every day. You will always be our first baby and the one that turned our world upside down. You taught us what it means to love "bigger than the world" and we are loving watching you become the little girl God has made you to be.


This year, the entire birthday week was "The Week of Jordan!" 

We started off with presents and celebrations:
   

Most four year olds may change what they ask for as it gets closer to her birthday. Not this girl, she asked for a Belle dress for MONTHS. "When I turn 4, I can have a Belle Dress."
Pre-Birthday Dinner!

Next up...Princess Dance Camp. First day she was the most excited about getting to pack her lunch in her princess lunch box!
  
Also have to document that this little athlete had her first swollen ankle, first visit to the athletic trainer and her first pink wrapped ankle! Gotta be tough little girl!
A world full of Elsas...and a Belle. Last day of Princess Dance Camp. Didn't quite get the performance down in front of strangers, but she did show us every single dance move when we got home. We'll work on your stage fright little princess!
   
Donuts with Daddy on your special day!

New purple ballerina nightgown and Trolls book!
 
 
 One day she'll appreciate these pictures we take every single year with our Jordan bottle of wine. A toast to becoming parents! One glass shy this year, Chris owes me a bottle when this baby gets here! :)


We kept pumping up "Jordan's Birthday Adventure" so Jordan was pretty excited. Spent the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge which just happened to be in Grapevine around the corner from our cousins for a cousin birthday dinner!

 
Birthday!
 
Water Park
Jordan's favorite was the wave pool and dancing in the toddler pool. 
Taylor's favorite was the slides...with Daddy....only. 
  

  
  

Arcade
  
Crafts
 
Dinner in Southlake
Was a little sunny outside here, but love that Jordan kept asking to stop and take pictures in front of things. "These flowers are beautiful mommy, let's take a picture" (Maybe this is a sign I take too many pictures)

Aunt Alli trying to help Jordan with her sleeping issues!
Ring around the Rosie

Seesters! 
Barrett and Taylor...always. They crack me up!
 
I love these kiddos and their 10 blue eyes!

One day....trouble. For now...cuties!
Playing chase Uncle Chris/Daddy with water on our hands.

Turning 4, dance camp, a week without naps and a Jordan Adventure is exhausting!

What a big week Jordan girl! Happiest of birthdays to you, we love you!
