Brook's Birthday!

Brook is 4 years old! She decided she wanted to go Disney princess this year, surprise right? She had a great party as usual. I think Jon and I look forward to her parties as much as she does. We get to see family and friends and just hang out and visit all weekend, it's like a mini reunion. This year she got to invite friends from school and on her actual birthday I took in cupcakes for her to share and Mrs. Shaw was great to have the kids sing to her and make a big fuss. Also this year Brook had a slumber party the night before her party. Brook called it the "girl party". Alyssa, Alexis, Anissa and Bryn were here and even though were not technically "girls" myself, my mom, my sister and Robin were also part of the fun. We had pizza and made/decorated cupcakes, Robin did the facepainting and tattoos for the girls and then we watched Enchanted in our princess pijamas, well the ladies were in pink pijamas since I haven't seen any princess pj's in adult size. The day of her party we had her jumper out for the little ones and then rented one for the big kids, which apparently includes Jon and friends, Robin and mom did more face painting and tattoos and of course the regular birthday food and cake. All in all I think everything went well but I do have to admit I'm looking forward to the time when Brook decides she just wants a few of her friends for her birthday celebration because in September we get to start the big family and friends celebration for Bryn. I'm trying to get a pony rides for her, wish me luck! :)
