I decided to start a new tradition with my girls.
I am going to "interview" them after their birthday, asking them about their favorite things, foods, activities, etc.
I think it will be fun to look back each year & see how their ideas, thoughts & tastes have changed.
{Also included are photos from Kate's impromptu 4 year old photo shoot that we had the other day!}

What a great idea! I will defintitely be instituting birthday interviews.

Hey Mel!!! Thanks for your comments! I'm glad you found me. I actually found you through Kelly's Korner too awhile ago. I THINK I left a comment because I alos noticed how alike we are as far as interests and then our girls are almost the exact same ages:). I know I became a follower and have loved reading your blog ever since! SO FUN! I had the biggest smile on my face when I was reading your posts on Kate's birthday because it's exactly what Ellie Kate has requested and so we are also having a Cinderella party for her 4th bday in a few weeks. It really is crazy how parallel our lives are in so many aspects. It's so fun to "meet" people over the internet! Love this interview:). I might copy your idea!
This is such a great idea, I LOVE IT! And please tell me she has the book Purplicious too, we read those books lots at our house. :)
Love this post! I was reading someone else's blog earlier n the week and they did an interview for their daughter-loved the idea and can't wait to hear what mine will say each year! Cute pictures, too!
Adorable pictures and I love this idea.
Just precious!!! Love all of her answersespecially the last one!!
great idea. She really does like chocolate.
I think I am going to steal this as well.
I am going to steal your idea :). My daughter Alexis is turning 4 in exactly one week from today!
that is such a cute idea, might have to steal that one from you for sure!!!
she is a muffin, LOVE her pictures!
I shall steal this idea as well I LOVE IT!!!!!
I also love every single photo. Great job
Please, you must get at least a tidbit on video and post.
Thanks for posting the link to that book! We're trying hard to get my 5 year old son with autism to realize that he can go in the potty, not in his diaper! I'm definitely going to buy it!
I love this! What a great idea! I love her answers and that she loves peas! What a sweetheart! I am going to have to steal this idea!
Mel, oh my goodness, a few things...
1. Wherever you took those photos, it is AWESOME.
2. Kate's outfit is absolutely adorable!
3. The interview idea is the best ever.
4. Kate has 3 inches on Mason but they are the same weight, lol.
5. That girl loves her some purple. And chocolate. :)
This interview is absolutely adorable, I only hope I can remember all of the great ideas you've given me when I have my own kids someday!
Her comment on wanting to be a little girl forever brought tears to my eyes, so so sweet!
thanks for your sweet comment...The interview is a great idea..will have to try that with my oldest daughter who turned 9 yesterday..oh, they grow up way too fast... Nice meeting you :) kristi
Hi Mel, thanks for your comment on my blog- so lovely to meet you!
Your family are lovely and I have really enjoyed reading your blog.
P.S. My little girl is also a "Kate" but with a "C"!
A girl after my own heart! Cinderella first, and then Mary Poppins are my favorite Disney movies!
Love her entire outfit!
Great idea to do this for birthdays! My little girl just turned 4 too, and I'm going to do this tomorrow. :) I made a "cousin directory" via Shutterfly a few years ago and had each cousin (there were 10 at the time) answer the same questions. It's so fun to flip through...
Happy Sunday!
I love this idea! I am going to have to remember this once GG is able to talk! These pictures are fantastic! What a great way to commemorate her birthday!
too cute!!
I feel for you on the waking up in the middle of the night thing. Easton sleeps all night, but yet my 5 year old wakes up at least once. It has gotten better now that we do this reward system with "magic coins", but I haven't slept through the night for the entire week in years!
Oh, I LOVE this idea! What a fun thing to do with your kids each year :) I'm thinking I just may have to borrow this! Your pictures are great :)
I love my family, chocolate and God too! I knew Kate and I had a lot in common! ha! So sweet.
I love this idea! I should do this! She is darling! I love her headband and sweater! So I guess you need to go out shopping for some purple clothes mom!
Megan
I love this idea! I will have to try this out with my girls!!!
