Today I am celebrating the ninth anniversary of my 25th birthday.  Buhahaha  I have figured out a way to avoid being older! ;)

Some More Birthday Fun!

Here is Cinderella, me and Sleeping Beauty the night before she turned four last week:

Sleeping Beauty's 4th birthday- party at school!

After school that day her Nana wanted to take me and the birthday princess out to a tea party lunch.

Love it!

Blowing out her candle, or her "wish," on her watermelon.

Her lunch:

She still took a knife to her teacup.  She's still Sleeping Beauty...Can't change her.

Then we did a mini party with just the family (and Snow White) the night of her birthday.  We had pizza!

And she got to make another wish...

The big family party pictures will be up soon!

Meet "Princess Furry Pants"

I am linking up with Kelly's Korner Blog for the Show Us Your Life: Show Us Your Pets blog carnival.  Go here to see more.

Meet "Princess Furry Pants." She prefers to remain somewhat anonymous on the World Wide Web and wants us to use that blog name.

She welcomed Cinderella home in early 2005:

And then Sleeping Beauty in late 2007:

She was our first born and has helped take care of our two daughters.  Now the girls love to take care of her - when she allows it and deems it necessary. 

In a baby carrier with Cinderella in early 2011

 She is a Shih Tzu and is about 10 years old.  She was a rescue from the Humane Society back before we had kids and we were newly married.

Here is soon to be big sister Cinderella practicing holding a newborn before her little sister was born:

 Here she is serving as a practice baby for Sleeping Beauty when we had a newborn cousin earlier this year:

 She is very festive:

And she LOVES a good birthday party!

I will share pictures of her  past Halloweens in a later post.

 The princess has very specific taste:  She loves waffles, spaghetti and treats.  She'll eat her dog food to stay alive but does not prefer it.

 Just yesterday on Sleeping Beauty's fourth birthday:  

Not sure why the Christmas bib is on.  Hmmm...

 Hanging with Cinderella:

 This was last Christmas Eve - she was all dressed up in a sweater camped out near the tree waiting for Santa.

 She adores Christmas.  Her birthday is December 7th.

 We don't know what we'd do without her.  She loves to play chase with the girls and keep away with toys.  She likes to get dressed up and she loves Disney movies.

Once I started this post I realized I had a lot to share about our furry girl, so here is a start and I will continue in later posts.  :)
