Mary Elizabeth turns 4!

I just wanted to take a minute and say how blessed I have been to know my daughter for 4 years. Mary Elizabeth has been such a shining light in my life. For four years, she has been our sunshine.

Here are a few facts about my Little M.E. Lou:
1. Her favorite colors are "rainbow, pink, and purple."
2. Her favorite foods are "tomatoes and candy". She also requested ribs as her birthday meal! What a hoot!
3. She wants to be "either a princess or a mommy" when she grows up. Can't she be both? ;)
4. She LOVES to sing! This week, we were in a public bathroom, and she belted out "It's too late to apologize! It's too laaaaaate!" by onerepublic. Also, thanks to her adoring brothers, she also loves to sing, "We will, we will, rock you! Rock you! Flush you down the toilet, see if you enjoy it! We will, we will ROCK YOU!"
5. Makeovers are her favorite thing to do. She will do just about anything for a swipe of my lip gloss.
6. She still loves all things princess, but is now getting into Barbie.
7. Mary Beth is a cuddle bug and still loves her blankets. She holds her blanket up to her mouth and makes a "na na" sound. When she is upset, she will ask to "Na na her blankie!"
8. She is always happy among her friends. Her brothers' sporting events are a thrill to her, because she gets to see lots of kids.
9. She LOVES her curly yellow hair, and makes comments when she sees someone else with curly yellow hair.
10. She adores her brothers. She wants to marry Thomas, and loves for Matthew to tuck her in at night. I love watching how the boys are with her. Matthew wanted to stay up until midnight the night before her birthday, so he could see her for just a few more minutes as a three year old.
11. I would say that her personality is very spunky. She is a bit of a rascal, but rarely gets in trouble. She is such a fun and easy companion.
12. She is hilarious. She loves to laugh and have people laugh with her. The other day, the kids kept saying, "Ummm, Daddy?" Bryon said, "My name is not UmmDaddy!" Mary Beth called him "UmmmmDaddy" the rest of the day. Belly laughing after each delivery.

What a joy she is! We had fun celebrating her birthday in San Antonio, and will have her birthday party this weekend!
