Brooklynn's 3rd Birthday festivities

The weekend we got to California was Brooklynn's 3rd birthday and lucky for us Skyler, and his pose, came into town to see us and celebrate with Brooklynn! She LOVED being the center of attention and having so many people play with her. I'm going to try to post some videos on here of her opening her presents- HILARIOUS to say the least. She is something else, and in her good moments I'm in heaven- now her dramatic, sassy moments are another story :)

The whole gang- minus Paul and I.

Blowing out here first set of birthday candles.

Her first bike from mommy and daddy! And her new ballerina skirt from Grandma.

The day after we got back from the cruise, I threw her a little bday party in my parents backyard. It was a great excuse to see so many friends and family at the same time, and B was so happy to have friends to play with- especially Ivy. And my best friend, Stephanie, flew in and surprised us at the party! It was so great to see EVERYONE. Thanks for coming.


Opening presents with all her friends. They were all such great helpers.
The kids enjoyed the bubble maker, eating, and jumping on the trampoline!

"King Daddy" as B says. For those of you who know Paul's mother, you can appreciate this. She LOVES to dress us all up and she brought daddy dress up, along with Belle and Tinkerbell for Brooklynn. She also somehow convinced Paul to play the Happy Birthday song on his guitar while we all sang- it was a sweet attempt. Brooklynn loved it. It was probably the highlight of her party.

The King with his Birthday Princess :)

Happy 3rd birthday my Big Girl!
Here's to many more celebrations!
We love you
always and forever :)
