It was a Faith kind of day: nothing outlandish, just simple and relaxing. That is Faith to a 'T.'
She was so excited for her presents today. Her face when she saw her John Smith doll was priceless! Oh, she just loves him. He is sleeping next to her as I type this. She also got 2 Fancy Nancy books-- one is a new one that we've had from the library for more than the 3 weeks alloted because of how much they love it. And, it just so happens the little sister turns 4 in that book too.
We went to the playground in the morning, and played in the driveway after getting back home. Faith has been so involved with the decorations, etc for her birthday party on Sunday, and she and Maddie painted some more seashells this afternoon. We made a banana cream pie in preparation for our Thanksgiving festivities on Thursday.
Spent the afternoon putting up the 2nd Christmas tree after Abrie was up from her nap.
We got our free turkey from Giant the other day, and had a turkey dinner tonight for our little turkey. Faith wanted to help me then with the laundry, and was so happy to be moving the laundry from the washer to the dryer (this girl has always had a fascination with laundry and ironing!). It just made me smile to know that she is happy with the simple things in life. She told us at our dinner prayer tonight, "this is the best day of my life. Thank you God that I am 4."

Had a small get together this past Sunday with our neighbors which was really nice. Since Marlee's birthday is the 27th and Faith's is the 23rd, we celebrated together. Girlies stayed up the night before making jello poke cupcakes.
Dan was called in early to work unexpectedly and so they didn't get to do their little turkey craft (since they were both born on/around Thanksgiving time), but it was still a nice time. They even built a fire and toasted s'mores which was a first for my little women.
It's funny how these birthday celebrations last a whole week long! Lucky little girls.
