Happy 4th Birthday, Maven!

By MAGGIE DING

During our February trip to Phoenix, we went horseback riding -- which led to the fun idea of having ponies (and bunnies) at Maven's fourth birthday party. So the planning began!

When I finally booked the vendors, I told Maven we would have two ponies along with bunnies, baby goats, and all baby animals since she tends to be afraid of the larger animals in petting zoos. Dearest Maven's response: "Two!? Only two ponies?! I'm turning 4! (Sigh.)"

Luckily, hr mother's inability to provide her four ponies didn't put a damper on the party, which we held a week in advance of her real birthday to avoid conflict with Easter Sunday.

Maven was super excited about her birthday party and had a great time before and after the 20-minute, pre-cake nap she decided to have on broken-legged Kevin in the middle of her party! As long as she was happy.


 The girls went out to await the ponies coming out from the trailer. Exciting time!!!
The birthday girl was the first to ride and was in line over and over and over ...


Sedona was very much enjoying all aspects of the party, which was generously hosted by Whitney and Gene with their plush backyard and flat driveway!
