It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to.....

You would cry too if it happened to you!!!

That pretty much sums up Morgie's 4th birthday party. She woke up that morning and I noticed that her body was warm. I took her temp and it was really low grade. She said that she felt fine and she acted fine. So, we got ready, ate breakfast, and I took her to my mom's house while I went and picked everything up and got ready. Mom brought Morgan over about 30 minutes before the party started and she was good. We took some pics of her with the cake (she is holding up 4 fingers).

She played in the Jump House with Angela's kids and Bitty Baby.

She even gave Bitty a gymnastics lesson!

We got pics of her with her Minnie ears on...

And a pic of us together, since we have none!

Love her! My cup runneth over!

Very soon after these pictures were taken it went severely downhill, about the time that the guests were arriving. Oh, it was horrible. Goodness only knows what her temp was, but she was burning up to the touch. We got some Tylenol in her and this is what most of the party looked like.

She was pitiful. After about an hour I guess the medicine started to take effect a little. I got her to say that we could do cake. She was alright until they started singing. Then this happened....

COMPLETE meltdown! Needless to say there was NO singing! She wouldn't eat anything and I thought that we were just going to have to pack the presents up and let her open them later. Finally, I got her to open just one. This one was lovely and decorated by Miss Cheyenne! The present was pretty cool too!

Look how red her little face is.....so pitiful! Then the next one was the best present ever!

It was a little horse in a carrying case with a brush and food. Do any of you remember that all Morgan wanted for christmas was a horse? Well, she again told Bethie that was what she wanted for her birthday. Only Bethie could come up with a present this good. She got Morgan a 1 hr riding lesson! All I have heard since then is "I want to go see the horsey, when are we gonna go see the horsey???" That Bethie is too too good for her own sake!

After that she opened the rest of her presents as long as I let her sit in my lap.

She got lots of art stuff and books. She is really into drawing and always has loved books. And lots of other great gifts. She racked up! She got a really cute sticker book below as part of her gift from Angela and her gang. You use these re-usable stickers to dress the princesses with. She loves it!

And, we got to give Triston his birthday present. Poor boy, his birthday party got interrupted by the tornadoes that went through a couple of months ago. Needless to say, we didn't make it. He is so cute. He is also a foster child. DFCS wants to make posters and use Morgan & Triston as their poster kids. They say with these two they should be able to rake in some foster parents!

Look how stinkin' cute they are~!

As everyone was leaving Morgan really started perking up and wanted her dress on. So, we took a picture of her, Molly, and Livi with their Minnie ears.

We came home and Morgan took a nap and woke up feeling great. She played with her balloons and all of her new toys for the rest of the day!

What a day! All in all Morgan never seemed upset like she felt that she missed her party or anything. She still talks about it and says her favorite part, of course, was the Minnie Mouse cake and pupcakes....even though she never ate any of it!

Well girls, that finally concludes the 4th birthday bash....2 weeks later! Happy Wednesday!
