The Angel Turns 4

Yesterday was a  BIG day in little Shahana's life. After weeks and weeks of anticipation, it WAS finally her birthday. And funnily enough, the day started with an anticlimax LOL!!

For the past couple of weeks, Shahana would ask (almost every morning), "Is it my birthday today?" and we'd help her count the days left till her birthday. Yesterday, she woke up declaring that her birthday was tomorrow! It took a good 30 minutes to have the little darling believe that this morning was indeed her special day. Some fun, huh?

The day slowly began with a visit to the temple, seeking the Almighty's blessings after which we grabbed a quick lunch and back home so that baby could catch on some sleep. If she didn't then it was sure shot disaster because she'd be cranky and irritable in the evening and we all will have a hard time coddling her. Anyway, none of that happened and finally evening came. 

Suddenly, my little sweetheart, metamorphosed into a beautiful little fairy. And the gown that she wore was one that she picked for herself. I am indeed amazed at how clear today's kids are about what they want. Infact she was crystal clear about the whole look. Here's a quick look :)

Not only the clothes, she was also quite clear about the decorations. She wanted a fairy theme and here's a picture of how that looked :)

The evening was made memorable with a magic show and a tattoo artist, that was immensely enjoyed by all her friends. All the kids were extremely happy, but more importantly, our little princess was very happy to have such a wonderful party. 

One day she's a small bundle of joy; we blink and suddenly she is a 4 year old talkathon!
