I will just say that Kelvin and I are so blessed to have this beautiful little girl given to us by God to have all for ourselves :) for this reason, yes she is a little spoiled---ok, spoiled rotten...lol!
BIRTHDAY PARTY PREP
Since Brook wanted her party at Chuck E. Cheese's it limited me spreading my crafty wings. However, she knew best because I had so many things going on that it all worked out anyway. I did manage to put some treat bags together with cupcakes, Dora candy treats, and stickers. After all, those are the only things that really mattered to the kiddos---the wow factor is really for the adults.
THE BIG BIRTHDAY PARTY!!
I should be ashamed to say but Brook had a kid guest list of 30 kiddos not counting all the family and friends who attended-long story short we had one whole wall of Chuck E. Cheese's to ourselves. She had a blast though. We're still scared of Chuck E though so we stayed clear of him. We were also scared to get in the ticket blaster. So, Brook's BFF volunteered to take her turn for her. That little girl cleaned house in that thing!! What it came out to was 1475 tickets (incl a 1000 ticket voucher)...and she handed them ALL over to Brooklyn...now that's a best friend!!! All the kids had a blast!
THE BIG BIRTHDAY PRESENT REVEAL...
So Brook has done so well with that little red tricycle for so long now and has also outgrown it. As all kids do (self-included) she gushes with excitement when we pass the bikes in Walmart. So, her Daddy went shopping for one for her and came back with the perfect one!! It was Disney princess theme and he even found matching knee and elbow pads and gloves!!! Too cute!! Here's how all of that went...might I point out the pic of her dancing with excitement beside the balloons and the bike...lol
THE AFTER PARTY...
Now, what you'll see here is not Brook's party but a friend's whose birthday is the day after hers that Brook attended the evening of the day of her party. Yes, 2 parties in 1 day!! Her mom was brave enough to do a slumber party!!! I will NOT do that until all girls are old enough to dress themselves, etc, etc...lol! Nevertheless, that mommy pulled it off. I stayed most of the evening to participate in the festivities thinking Brook would want to leave with me, but noooooo she wanted to stay. So I was sent home to fetch pj's, Dora suitcase, Dora toothbrush, and Dora blanket for her to sleep over. She had a blast!
THE ACTUAL BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY PARTY
Did I mention all of what you just saw wasn't even in Brook's birthday??!! Since her b-day was on a week day, we HAD to have a party at school, right? So, I can only think of one thing this kid loves more than birthday cake---donuts!! So, we had birthday sprinkle donuts. The folks at Shipley near us have adored Brooklyn since I had her, so when I asked if they would do her birthday treats for me this year---they were delighted!! So, we had a breakfast birthday party complete with chocolate milk and of course goodie bags in all the kids cubbies to take home. It was all worth it to hear how cool everyone thought Brooklyn was because her mom brought donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast :)
4 YEAR OLD CHECKUP
Brook has never been a stranger to a doctor's office but she's always so engaged when it's time to see Dr Davis. 4 year old checkups are tough in that there are 5 shots that come along with it this year. Lucky for her, they were out of one of them that day so we'll be going back this week. Bet she won't be so excited to see Dr Davis anymore after that :(
O.k so there it is....my little one's 4th birthday festivities. Not too shabby if you ask me! Hope you enjoyed! See you soon!
