Phew! It's been a very busy week winding down the school year and returning to my role as homemaker/domestic goddess ...
I've been wanting to share Sienna's 4th birthday with you all week. She had a cozy, little celebration at home with Mama, Daddy and Nana.
The night before her birthday (which fell on a Sunday this year) Mama and the birthday fairies stayed up late to decorate a "makeshift" birthday table for Sienna. (We have a lot of clutter around the little cottage from our upcoming Summer move!)

The birthday fairies even put out her special birthday dress!
And the next morning ...
Sienna sleepily walked into the kitchen and was surprised by the birthday table. She asked Mama if she got up during the night to set up things up. Mama told her that the birthday fairies helped set up.
The birthday girl!
After Sunday pancakes, she opened her gifts from Mama and Daddy.
Playing with her birthday ring.
This year, we added a hedgehog to the birthday ring. Sienna is very fond of hedgies...
Sienna's Rainbow Cake. We added strawberries to it a bit later.

The inside of our rainbow cake. We used all natural dyes from Whole Foods Market. The indigo and violet came out looking brown, but Sienna loved her rainbow cake!
Opening gifts. Nana gave Sienna a book about the ocean.

After the celebration, Daddy made Mama's belly cast while Nana and Sienna put together the fairy puzzle and read the book about the ocean.
It was a beautiful day and we can't believe our little one is now 4!
