Happy 5th Birthday Brynn!!

Can't believe it's been 5 years since Brynn made us a Mommy and Daddy. Time really does fly by... she is so thoughtful, kind and sweet (most of the time!) and is definitely her own little princess! She doesn't like to get dirty, gets hot very easily and her newest phrase is when we spend too much time in the car (anything over 15 minutes) - she gets "sea sick"! Also - don't ask her for help blowing up balloons because her response will be, "I don't want to waste any air". Oh Brynn - we love you!

We celebrated her birthday with a special pancake breakfast...


followed by some presents!

FROZEN LEGOS!!!

and then the "Griswolds" headed to the Ice Den for some ice skating in the desert - Brynn's wish! I forgot to mention she woke up on her birthday with a big surprise... Grammy and Auntie were here!!

The girls did GREAT on skates! It was nice to get bundled up in sweatshirts for once! Grammy did ok too - she couldn't last too long because the rental skates were not the comfiest of things. Unfortunately she wasn't able to show us any of her tricks from the old days this time...

She started out with the walker at first.

Cheers from the fan club!

Brooky used a walker too - although you can tell from this picture that she didn't really want to hold on to it... she wanted to be like the big kids in the middle!

Then Brynn graduated to holding Auntie's hands...

and by the end (2.5 hours later!) she was skating all by herself and loved it! She keeps asking "how many more days till we go back?!" and now when she grows up she wants to be an Ice Skater!

After skating we headed to Dunkin Donuts (another Brynn favorite) for a well deserved treat.


That night, she opened up a couple more presents...

My Little Ponies!!! Woohoo!! She had a great birthday day and tomorrow is the big MY LITTLE PONY party with all of her friends!!!
