on the morning of her fourth birthday, a little cherry faced girl named yindi got out of bed ready for the happiest of happy days. the fairies had come in the night and left sparkles and sprinkles, the house had been decorated in her honour, and her family showered her with love and affection, for truly, she was a special girl.
with birthday dress and crown on, she was ready to greet the pile of presents from loved ones near and far...
by far the most exciting gift (and secret her big sister could hardly keep!) was that of a little pet bunny! the birthday girl could hardly believe her eyes!
after a yummy breakfast and lots of bunny-caring, the birthday girl set out to help her mumma make the most delicious cake. strawberry was the request, and of course birthday requests must be granted!
then, off to the lake to await some friends for playing and cake eating!
both of which were done with much enthusiasm, as only a four year old can...
yes, it's pretty great to have a fourth birthday indeed!
and it's pretty great to have such a great four year old!
the end.
*(tent we made for yindi inspired by this DIY)
Happy birtyday sweet, sweet Yindi!
That tent is awesome!

What an amazing birthday celebration and such a sweet little girl! I love the tent, and the enlarged photo of her by the beautifully set table, and her with the balloons down by the water.
Just magical! :)
