Kate had been looking forward to her birthday for quite a few months now, partly because she understands the age upgrade thing now, and partly because she had her heart set on having a pinata at her birthday party. We were more than happy to make her pinata dream come true. Seriously, that was her only request for her birthday. And it was so fun! The kids helped fill the pinata (with leftover Halloween candy:) ), and then when Grandpa and Grandma came over to celebrate with us Kerry hung it up in our carport. Kate got the first turn with it, then the boys each got a turn before it got destroyed. The kids had a blast. This was definitely a tradition where the boys didn't ask any clarifying questions about why we were doing this. As we were telling them about it earlier in the day, their reactions were more of "This is the best idea EVER!"

After the pinata, we went in and Kate opened her presents, and then we sang happy birthday, Kate blew out the long awaited four candles, and we ate cake and ice cream. The frosting on the cake might have been radioactive judging by its color, but when purple is the favorite color of the birthday girl, that's what you end up with. It was really cute, though. :)
There must be something magical about being four years old, because Kate has some newfound confidence in her abilities to do things. The next day at the park, Kate declared that she could go across the monkey bars all by herself "because I'm four now." Sure enough, she just went right across.
