Our sweet little Carla Marie turned 4 on Sept. 22. We started the day with a trip to McDonald's for breakfast where we shared egg Mcmuffins.
Grandma and Grandpa Penfold came out all the way from Florida to celebrate with us. Here, Grandpa read a special book to Carla that he and Grandma recorded themselves.
We had burgers, chips and a special Thomas the Train cake for dessert.
Carla insisted (joyfully) that everyone wear party hats. Grandma found some neat Thomas ones at Walmart.
Just before diving into the cake...
Carla says the cake and ice cream is great.
Opening presents...
A week later, we capped off Carla's birthday festivities with a special sleepover with her best friend, Sasha. Here, the two cuddled up to watch a Strawberry Shortcake movie.
