Happy Birthday Brynn!

Happy Birthday Brynn!!! She's been waiting for this day for a long time... she kept saying, "2 more weeks til my party!" - and she started months ago!

She was so happy that she even woke up at 3:40am that morning and wanted to stay up for the day! You remember when you were little and couldn't sleep the night before your birthday or Christmas?!?!? That was Brynn :)

This is how she wakes up - perfect hair! Yes, I'm jealous! :)

That day the girls and I went to an indoor playground and played with our neighbor and her kids. Brynn was all decked out in her tutu and birthday ribbon! She wasn't shy about letting everyone know it was her birthday.
 
While Brooklyn was napping, she couldn't wait to get her hands on some presents. She had spotted them in the garage and wanted to open them earlier in the week. The first present was a giant puzzle from Grammy! She loved it and had no problem putting it together. I think she takes after Grammy with her puzzle skills - this girl is good!

Next one...

Fruit to cut!!! This was a hit!

and cookies to bake!

Right away she went to the oven to bake the cookies - glad she remembered her hot pad! We have one small issue... Mommy has tried to cook the pan 3 times now - oops. Daddy's looking into a play oven for the girls so they can put their cookie sheets in there instead!

Later that day we skyped with Nana & Papa and Brynn opened their gifts. What's in this one?!?

A new quilt for her bed made by Nana! She took that so fast and took off for her room - haha!

Then we swam...

and watered the grass!

Time for roller coaster - whee!!

This is a girl you don't want to mess with!

She loves the roller coaster and prefers to go down with her hands in the air or blowing kisses to everyone while she's supposed to be holding on so we really have to watch her! Such a goof.

Time for cake! I had made Brynn a monkey cake so we made her close her eyes until we were ready!

Surprise!! She was so happy when she saw it!

Time to make a wish! We hope ALL your wishes come true... you've already done that for us. Happy 3rd Birthday Brynn, we love you lots!

Mommy's Monkey Cake! I was proud of myself for my very first attempt at making a "fancy" cake :)
