Stella's big birthday present this year was a bedroom makeover complete with a new twin bed, new bedding, an upholstered headboard (made by Mama & Dada), a little sling chair and table for Stella to read and lounge on. While Stella was playing games on the computer, Dada set up her new room. He then waited inside her room with the camera to take pictures of her reaction to the big surprise.
As you can see by the pix above and below, Stella LOVED her surprise and her girlie room!!!!
Stella then tested out her new bed...
At the time we surprised Stella, we hadn't put up her upholstered headboard or curtains up yet, (b/c the headboard wasn't finished). So this is what Stella's room likes like now.
We still have to get a few more items to complete her room, like a dresser and nightstand and put up some pictures, so it's still a work in progress. But in the meantime, Stella absolutely loves her new room and that's all that matters.
After Stella's big surprise was revealed, we all went to Olive Garden for dinner and then came back home to cut the cake.
Mama made Stella a butterfly cake which she just loved.
We sang "Happy Birthday" to Stella.
Stella then blew out the candles and we all enjoyed some cake.
Since her big gift this year was not something that was wrapped up, we decided to get Stella one other gift that could be wrapped up so that she would have something to open.
It was a digital camera. In the pix below, Mama was able to capture Stella's sheer delight in getting a digital camera.

We had a great time celebrating our baby girl's 4th birthday. Stella...Mama, Dada, and Desmond love you so much!!! We hope you enjoyed your special day!
