Peter Pan Josie and the REAL Peter Pan

Last weekend Josie was a flower girl in Kevin and Mindy's wedding. She did an amazing job. We were so proud of her. For those who know Josie, you know she isn't too into the girly scene right now. So we pretty much promised her everything from Peter Pan coming to her birthday party to getting to paint over the pink in her room if she smiled and wore the dress. Mindy even let us pick out different color dresses to go with the Hawaiian theme. So of course we picked Josie's favorite color...blue!

Josie earned every promise! She totally got into the girly zone. She loved spinning around in her dress. She was very well behaved and smiled on que. She walked down the aisle, fell asleep on Billy's lap during the ceremony, woke up at communion, and walked down the aisle again with a big smile on her face.

We rode Olley the trolley, took more pictures then danced the night away. Thank goodness for grandparents! Grandma, Grandpa, and Grandshe helped us getting all the kids in PJ's and took them home by 9pm so Billy and I could party hardy.

The very next day the celebration continued! Josie's Peter Pan birthday party was a big hit. Peter Pan himself came to the party! We had a sword making station. Peter Pan led the kids on a scavenger hunt that ended with them finding a treasurer (a Peter Pan book for every kid). Josie was on cloud 9. She had so much fun. Watching her tell Peter Pan stories, dance with her friends, and just be our Josie girl was fantastic.

Four more days till our Josie is really 4. Love you Josie.
