Happy Birthday Helen!

It is hard to believe that just three short years ago we were celebrating Helen's first birthday! Here is a picture of Helen on January 14th, 2006!

And here she is on January 14th, 2009! We celebrated Helen's FOURTH birthday on Wednesday! I can't believe my baby is four!
I also cannot believe that she had a Hannah Montanna birthday party! About one week after her third birthday, Helen began to tell me that she wanted to have a Hannah Montana theme for her fourth birthday. I tried every other "appropriate" theme for a four year old! We went to Party City and looked at all of the other options.......Dora, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Hello Kity.......ANYTHING but Hannah.......but this girl knew what she wanted! Mind you, she has never watched a full episode of HM. We have seen bits and pieces of the program, but I guess Helen has fallen into the marketing trap that is Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana! Many of the people who came to celebrate her birthday with her today fell for the marketing scheme as well as Helen received a Hannah Montana guitar, microphone, clothing, sheets, pajamas and a wig! We had a great time at Helen's afternoon party on Wednesday and want to thank everyone who came to celebrate with us! I'll post some pictures of the party in a day or two, but in the meantime, I'll leave you with this picture of our little performer! She is LOVING all of her Hannah Montana accessories! Oh my!
