We were pretty chill about Chiara's birthday this year, pretty much throwing together something last minute a few weeks before so that Stuart could be there for her party.  What little girl doesn't love a cuddly friend and a tea party? So we went to Build a Bear at the Mall (she chose a pink and purple bear that she named Fluffy. Asher "chose" under daddy's direction "Dude" the camo bear) and then we (Reagan,Grace, Maddie and their sisters and moms) had a tea party at our house right after.  

Chiara's big present this year was this kitchen

which was also a pretty big hit at the party.

For her actual birthday we had a girls night with Kelly, Reagan, Meagan, and Grace and went out to Disney on Ice.  Chiara loved it!

She also opened some presents from family:

First Barbie! (and one exhausted girl!)

THANK YOU GRANDMA!

So fun to celebrate four fun filled years of this little girl's life.  She is so sweet and really has a very pure heart.  She tries so hard not to make mistakes and has a real desire to do the right thing. She also has quite the imagination and sense of humor.  She loves to have fun and will happily agree to do just about anything as long as she can do it with her "friends" of all ages. She has a fantastic memory and can recite almost every book that is read to her word for word and she also remembers past events and friends with astonishing clarity.  As part of this she sometimes misses her life in South Carolina but it makes it easy for her to learn and remember new things.  One of her favorite things is to hear the story of how everyone in our family was born, as well as the story of how Stuart and I got married.  She really loves her "aunties" which includes all her aunts and uncles and prays for them by name at night and asks when they can come over. She is such a great big sister.  She is always so anxious to help with Asher and Navy Adele and gets very worried if she senses anything amiss with them.  She is also super snuggly and loves to be touching and touched.  One of her favorite treats is to climb in bed with Mama and Daddy and snuggle.  She makes up funny songs in the car and loves to talk, unless she meets someone new.  She is still our shy little girl and gets embarrassed easily, but she tries very hard to be brave and make new friends.  Her personality is so bright and fun and I have loved getting to know it even more this year!

She is becoming such a little lady!
