Brooklyn's birthday celebrations started on Easter Sunday. We celebrated with family at Grandma and Grandpa Anson's house since we were together for Easter dinner. (We also celebrated Sam's first birthday, but more about that in another post.) We brought cupcakes. Grandpa supplied the candles. Brooklyn wanted the cupcakes to be pink and blue and purple and yellow and black and white and green. She was surprisingly accommodating when I told her to choose three colors. Pink, purple and yellow won.
She got a fun Tinkerbell barbie and "Look n Find" book. She even got to climb into Grandpa's lap and they found some fairies together.
On her actual birthday, she voted to open presents before Dad left for work. Of course, it was all wrapped in pink. She kept asking, "Am I four yet?" Later that night, we were at pack night and someone asked her how old she was. Without missing a beat she said, "Almost five." Nothing wrong with planning ahead.
It also just so happened that her friend came to play at our house while her mom helped with something at the school. So, we had a little party of sorts. The girls decorated pink wands and ate cupcakes. These two little blondies are peas in a pod. We sure enjoy having Sabrina at our house and are grateful for good friends.
Emily and Chris came over for dinner that night. Then we dashed off to pack night and hurried home for cake and ice cream. This year she wanted a Tinkerbell heart cake with pink frosting. Easy enough, thanks to the cake toppers you can grab at the Wal Mart bakery. (You know, I really resent my dependence on that store. But, I digress). Those are fairy rings on the cake. She loved it. We love you, Brookie Cookie, drama and all. I look forward to all the adventures we will share this year while you are "almost five."
