Send Me Your Ideas!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The other day, my little V-Bee turned four years old.  Which means, it has been a whole year since her Queen Bee Birthday. \u00a0 I won&#8217;t lie; I wanted to cry. \u00a0As terrible as it sounds, I wish I could just sting her with a little sweet syrum and keep her this old forever. \u00a0 That being said, <em>every age she is &#8211; is my favorite age<\/em>.  She is<em> my girl<\/em> and we reign this hive of boys together. \u00a0 So now I am trying to coming up with a theme for her \u00a0birthday party. \u00a0This party is kind of important.  We moved this year. \u00a0She has a new school, new friends, and for a demure very shy little girl it wasn&#8217;t the easiest in the beginning. \u00a0To be honest, I don&#8217;t know if it was harder on her or me &#8211; watching her grow and step out of her comfort zone. \u00a0There was more than once that I just wanted to wrap her up in a never-ending protective bubble wrap of \u00a0hugs, rainbows, and love before sending her off to preschool that day. \u00a0(<em>Do you ever feel that way with your kids?<\/em>) \u00a0But she did it! \u00a0She has a new circle of friends and has spread her little wings at school beautifully. \u00a0I am so proud of her and so I want her to celebrate! \u00a0Vienna&#8217;s party theme changes as often as her Halloween costume choices. \u00a0For Halloween she now either wants to be a Pumpkin Monster or a Crocodile. \u00a0<em>So what do I do with the Dorothy dress and Ruby slippers in the closet?<\/em> For her birthday she either wants a Puppy Dog Party, \u00a0a Unicorn Party (I don&#8217;t foresee this one coming to fruition, but it&#8217;s her choice), a Horse Party, or a &#8220;baby ghost&#8221; Pumpkin Party. \u00a0Nevermind that she wanted a Fairy Party all summer long and I&#8217;ve been counting the days to pull out the pixie dust and wings. \u00a0*sigh* \u00a0Oh, how I love this little girl. \u00a0Send me your ideas. \u00a0I am in need of them. \u00a0The party is in less than two weeks and I need to get planning! \u00a0 I&#8217;d love to hear your best themes! \u00a0Here are some photos of her Queen Bee Birthday from last year, in case you missed it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"693\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15096\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 7\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-7.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-7-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"561\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 6\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15090\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-4.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-4-267x300.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15089\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"635\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-3-283x300.jpg 283w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-8.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15099\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 8\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-8.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-8-300x160.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Loralee Lewis Queen Bee Birthday 9\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loraleelewis.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/09\/Loralee-Lewis-Queen-Bee-Birthday-9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"472\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI have some more exciting news coming up too!
