Willow turns 4

WILLOW FERN ENGLESTEAD! 

Who told you that you could turn 4 years old?  

Her birth is still so fresh in my mind, but here we are, celebrating her 4th birthday!

 

She told me she wanted a piggie birthday party again.  Secretly, I hope she always wants a piggie birthday party.  It makes me so happy!  

She woke up in the morning and opened a few gifts.  

Then she went to preschool where her teachers gave her a gift.

Then she came home and helped me put pigs on her birthday cake.

Then we opened another gift when Indie got home.

Then we ate dinner, and I went and picked up Sailyr and Finley early from ski school and basketball games.  So that everyone could be home together for Willow to blow out her candles.  

She also opened her last gift when all of her sisters where home. 

Then dad measured her!  And she is a shorty- The shortest of her sisters at 4 years old.  

Pics are out of order.  But below is Wills, blowing out candles. 

Above; opening up a new piggie from Grandma and Grandpa.

Below;  I'm pretty sure the nice weather we had on Willow's 4th birthday might never happen again.  It was almost 50 degrees and my little kids were out back playing with no coats on.  It was really unusual.

She went out with me to feed chickens and get eggs.  (her favorite food ever!  When she sees an egg in the coop she says "Oh eggs!  Yummy!!)

Wills got a Tonies Box from us, with Elsa, Anna, Olof, Cindrella, Peppa pig and Cocomelon.   Also a stuffed animal pig.

Grandma and Grandpa gave her a little live pets pig and sheep.

Indie gave her a new music jewelry box.

Grandma Lois and Grandma Farnsworth sent money and cards.

Each time I asked her if she wanted to invite some friends over, she would say "No, I just want my sisters to come to my party".  So we might go to an indoor trampoline park or something this weekened.  

Happy Birthday Willow!!!

What would we ever do without you?

Last 7th grade cheer comp

Well.  She did it!  Sailyr survived her last cheer competition.   She did it!!  

And I did it!!  5am wake up calls are no joke. 

We did it!  

Yesterday we took all the kids to Jerome with us to watch sailyr at her last competition.  Sailyr wasn't feeling well with a head cold, that I think her entire team has.  So we gave her dayquill and wished her luck.  

I'm so proud of her.  

Honestly, I've never seen a 12-13 year old work as hard as she does.  And best of all.... NO EARLY MORNING PRACTICE TOMORROW!!!!

She still has to cheer at some basketball games, but since competitions are over practices will be nothing like it was. 

Fin read the whole time, except when sailyr was performing 😂

And indie and Wills bought about 10 candy bars each and also had fun with the photo ops.
