the Birthday GirL!!

Brooklyn turned 2 on the 19th.
(She seems so much older than that to me)

She had a great day.....I think!  She woke up and opened her first present from Grandpa Marc and Grandma Betty while FaceTiming with them.  

We had a little party with some of Brooklyn's friends at 11.  It was very low-key.  The kids played while the mom's chatted.  Then we opened a few presents and had cupcakes....easy!  Brooklyn picked this Ariel cupcake cake for her birthday.

I loved this and how easy it was to just pull apart the cupcakes..no cutting, no mess.

 

 Some pictures from her party...

She got bubbles, play doh, princess barbie dolls, a puzzle, stickers, and a princess tent at her party.  Her friends know her well!

John left to study after the party so I put the kids down for naps.  We went on a walk with Janet and Annabelle and fed the ducks along the way.  We picked up John when he was done and grabbed Chipotle for dinner...Brooklyn's request.  Ha ha...just kidding!  It was more of my request..but she loved it too.  Brooklyn opened the rest of her presents when we got home.

I love how determined she is.

happy with her 2 dollar bill from Aunt Claudia!

She got King Triton and Ursula (from the Bowen's), a new book (Grandpa and Grandma Sorenson), Ariel (Mike and Camille) and play doh from John and I.  Tal and Alison (and Alison's mom who was in town) came over for cupcakes and ice cream...and we sang to her again and she blew out more candles.

burned her nose a little :)

 

It was a great day!  We sure love this girl!!
