Sarah turned four on Wednesday, October 10th.  Daddy made a batch of vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream for her celebration at school.  I got to join the class for cupcakes and to read a book (Sarah chose Gram’s original story, the Panda Who Went for a Spin, for the second year in a row).

After school I took Sarah to Polpettina for a birthday lunch.

After dinner we had another delicious Daddy-baked cake!

Sarah was very excited about this panda-unicorn she’d asked for.

On Friday Sarah’s multisports class moved on to t-ball!

Then on Saturday, Mom-Mom and Aunt Molly arrived for a weekend visit.  We went out to lunch at the Larchmont Tavern.

On Sunday morning Daddy made his final batch of cupcakes for the birthday season, and Sarah helped to decorate.  All told there were 5 batches of cupcakes and one 3-layer cake, and a whole bunch of buttercream frosting.

We had Sarah’s birthday party on 10/14 at Creative Corner, a children’s art space here in Larchmont.  There was face painting, and the kids got to choose a wooden item to paint.  Sarah and Blaine both chose a mini fire truck.

There was also a game of hot potato!

Happy Birthday, Sarah!  We love you!
