Happy 4th Birthday, Brynlee!

Yesterday was Brynlee's 4th birthday! We had a busy, fun day! First thing in the morning I got up early so I could be ready for the day before Brynlee woke up. Gracen woke up next and I took him in to Brynlee's bedroom. The night before I had placed some of her birthday gifts in her room, so I had Gracen take one to her and wake her up with it. As soon as she saw it she jumped out of bed smiling. Then she said, "I'm still too tired mommy!" She wasn't too tired to open her gifts, though! She was really excited!

Posing in her new rainboots with her umbrella, it was a good day for rain, and we got plenty of it!
Next she had to go to preschool. I made flower cupcakes for her to take for her class. Gracen and I went shopping and made some last minute plans with some friends to go play and have lunch to celebrate. After we picked up Brynlee from school we went to a playground at a nearby waterpark and then we came home to have pizza and cupcakes with our friends.

After naps we went to get a movie at the redbox and she spent some of her birthday money to buy a bathtub for her babies. She chose a barbie movie and was excited to get home to watch it and play with her new toys! Nate didn't get home from his rotation (2.5 hours east of here) until about 7:30. Brynlee had lots of phone calls with birthday wishes! We had such a fun day and all day long she kept saying "I love you mommy! This is the best birthday I never had!"

We are so grateful to have our little Brynlee in our family! She is such a sweet girl and she has such a kind heart! She loves to dance and go to preschool. She loves playing with her friends and her brother Gracen. She loves reading, and at night she always asks to read a story from the friend magazine. She loves her baby and plays with her all the time, I always find her walking around talking on her play phone, going to the store, and setting up play dates. It is hard to believe she has been in our family for 4 years, but at the same time it is hard to think of a time when she wasn't there!

We love you so very much, Brynlee! Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! I can't belive how big she is. Uchenna is sad he couldn't be there.

4!? It seems like time should stop for everyone else and life should freeze and be exactly the same (if that makes sense). But, I can't believe she's 4! Oh we love and miss Brynlee.

Happy Birthday
