Happy 4th Birthday, Vi!

It was party time this past weekend at our house because Vi turned 4 years old!  She had an Ariel mermaid party, although we invited some pirates to join in on the fun, too.

One game that the kids all enjoyed was "going fishing."  Daddy made the ocean for us, and Paw was the big fish that gave out some quality dollar store prizes for everyone's sand bucket.

Rufus the magician (aka Uncle Joe) showed up for the party to share the magic he learned under the sea from Ursula and King Triton.  We had to tell Vi that it was Uncle Joe because that hair was just toooooo bizarre and frightening at first.  In the end, all of the kids loved this activity, and Vi called Rufus out on his disappearing coin trick.  Thanks Rufus for a great show!

 

On Sunday we explored the town with Aunt Janice.  We got some beautiful shots from the top of the mountain since the day was so clear.

Here is Vi trying out one of her gifts, a cotton candy maker.  Yummy!  Instead of yelling with excitement for "cotton candy!" she yelled "sugar!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VI!  WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new perspective

This blog's purpose is to share the life of a wonderful little girl, Vi, with family and friends.  Since it was created only a few days after she was born, it has mainly been written from my perspective, the Mommy.  It hasn't been until recently that I hope I have chosen to share her most meaningful moments and comment in a way that expresses her personality.  And then I realized that Vi is not an infant anymore, not even a toddler.  She is a kid, a school-aged child.  My goal at this point is to get more of her input as time goes on and start sharing more moments from what it actually like to be the main participant in The Life of Vi.

 

So, to begin.  Pictures from the Fisher-Price camera.  The things that are important to our 3 year-old.
