An End to the Birthday Madness!

Molly's 4th birthday extravaganza finally ended today with a celebration with her friends at Pump It Up. All the madness started on November 19th upon our arrival at our Disneyland hotel where she received a room upgrade, balloons and a personalized "Happy Birthday" button that had every Disney employee wishing her a happy birthday every few minutes. I knew all the attention was going to her head when two Japanese tourists were getting off the elevator in our hotel on our last night and Molly turned to me and said, "They didn't wish me a happy birthday!"

A week after we returned to Arizona from Disneyland, my family had a birthday party for all our December birthdays where once again Molly enjoyed her birthday spotlight. Then of course her actually birthday occurred 3 days later, the same day we returned home from Houston. This day wasn't as festive since we were busy packing and saying good-bye to family. We did take her to Applebee's where they were going to sing "Happy Birthday" to her and bring her a free birthday dessert, but after many warnings concerning her behavior, she finally crossed the line and lost that privilege. She did get some nifty wings from our stewardess on the plane ride home.

Can you tell by her hair how much fun she had?

Thanks for having us! JJ had a GREAT time and was worn out afterwards (bonus for me! ha!)

So, exactly how big was the meltdown when you wouldn't let the Applebee's people sing to her!? :)

Pretty freaking big, but luckily Daddy took her outside to deal with it.
