Final Birthday Bash

Sunday was the final birthday celebration for little "B".  The party was for our families - always a nice time to get both sides together.  I worked pretty hard on her cake again this year, and of course it had to be Cinderella.  Here's the final product:

And she's ready to start the singing......

Diggin' in!

Chandler was having a rough time waking up from her late nap, so Uncle Andy thought he'd give her some cake to help her snap out of it.  Apparently chocolate always makes it better!

Onto opening presents - more princesses and more princesses!  However Brooklynn didn't seem to mind.

The most challenging part was getting her to continue opening, because she kept wanting to play with each present she opened.

The finale.....a new bike!  Sweet!

Brooklynn was determined to play with her new Ariel bath castle, so Aunt Carrie filled the sink for her to play.  Not soon after she was naked in the sink playing with the castle.

Then onto the cowgirl boots - yee haw!

And last was the new princess dress and winding down by reading her new princess book with daddy.

Saying goodbye to Aunt Carrie - so glad she was able to make the big day.  The girls already miss her tons!

So after 3 outfit changes, playing with all toys, and reading the books, it was time to say goodbye to the birthday celebrations for another year.  Brooklynn had a fantastic birthday and loved every bit - friends, family, and lots of cake!  Steve and I can't believe we now have a 3 year-old - no longer a baby but a little "kid".  It goes by fast, but is so much fun.  She constantly cracks us up, so we're excited to see what the next year holds for our little girl - preschool, playing with sissy, and lots of princess love!
