Shelby's 4th Birthday Party

We had Shelby's 4th birthday party yesterday. Here she is with her number 4 balloon from Grampy and Grammy.
She wanted a castle jumper this year for her party and here she is in front of the jumper before all the fun begins!!
Shelby had lots of friends at her party, but here is a special friend that showed up. She wouldn't look at the camera though. This is the cat that Grammy has adopted and the kids love playing with him.

BLOW, BLOW, BLOW!! This year Shelby wanted Grammy to make her famous ice cream cake for her party for the first time. It was a big hit again.

Finally here she is with one of the wonderful gifts she received from her wonderful friends!! The party was at 1:30 and all morning Shelby kept asking when her friends would be there. It seemed like longer than Tyler's party which was the exact same time, but I guess when it's your party it seems like a longer wait. Once her friends starting arriving she immediately starting asking me to open her presents. I told her we were going to jump for a while, have cake, and then do presents. She didn't like that plan and kept trying to get me to speed things along which I did a little and they just had more time to jump at the end. However then she just wanted to take the toys out and play with them and she had to wait again until her friends left. She had to learn some patience and did pretty well!!
