Five years old!!!!



My goodness time sure goes by fast when you're having fun. And it's surely been a fun five years with our princess. We started off Brook's birthday with strawberry whip cream pancakes which she had two servings of! Getting older must be hard work. After that we lit her candles on her birthday cake and we were off to start the day. We didn't get to do much to celebrate today because we're leaving for Dumont but we sure did some celebrating last Saturday with her birthday party and last night it was her choice for dinner anywhere she wanted, she picked Sonic for their corndogs and cherry slushie, I'm sure it won't always be that easy.
Her birthday party went extremely well if I do say so myself. We had 50+ kids and over 120 people total! What can I say we love to entertain. :) We had both jumpers up, a pony, goat and rabbit, the best pinata ever (thanks sis) and because of the hard work and dedication of Jon, Grandpa Craig, Grandpa Herman, Cato, Matt, Barry, Chuck and Dane we also had Brook's new swing set up and ready for play. Barry joked that with all the different trades working on it, the job would have cost us at least $6000, ahh it's good to have the right connections! Not to mention all the "womens" work that was going on inside the house, between myself, Grandma Letty, Grandma Lila, Robin, Shanna and Dawn food and drinks were all ready on time. Yay for family and friends!!!! We have been so blessed to have so many people come from near and far to celebrate this special time with us.
We love you Brookie and we're so proud of the big girl you are becoming!!!!
