Guess who has a FOUR year old?

My sweet sweet Brynnie-Pie turned four on December 22. Before we went up to Utah we threw our first birthday party for her. It was kind of crazy and was right in the middle of all my foot trouble, but I have great friends and had help, and I think the kids loved it, which is the important part.

We had a princess and knight party. The girls were all so cute in their princess dresses and I made little crowns and shields for the boys.

We played "pin the tail on the unicorn," went on a treasure hunt, had a cake walk, and played in the dragon (well, really it's a dinosaur, but no one seemed to mind).
I think she was more excited about her cake than any of her presents. Crown cupcakes! And Cinderella lights up! Remember the part about how I didn't spend hours and love on my own cake creation and just went and bought one at Walmart this year? Yeah. Cortisone shots just a couple days earlier and a 2 week trip to Utah the day after. It was WELL worth it. :)

Her actual birthday was while we were in Utah. So she woke up at Kelly and Christy's and played with her cousins, then we wanted to have a little time with just our family, so we went and got lunch at one of the most posh play places I've ever seen. Then we took her to Ross and let her pick out an outfit (she loves to shop - no lie). Then we went to G&G Oldhams, spent some time there and the went to PIRATE PIZZA! For a girlie girl like Brynn, it always strikes me as funny that she is SO interested in pirates. It was perfect!

Who's having more fun here, honestly?
Love when these two love each other.

There was something so cute about the way she so carefully folded and then stuffed all the tickets into her pockets.


Awwwwe, her first shooting lesson





We discovered a talent Brynn has. She was actually pretty good at shooting hoops. We couldn't believe how many shots she made.
The pirates sang to her and brought her ice cream.

She opened presents from Grandma and Grandpa....

who happened to have the best idea for a present for Bryncess I've ever heard. They gave her a wad of cash, took her to the Disney store at the mall and let her run wild and pick out whatever she wanted! After eliminating Aladdin and Jasmine dolls, a sparkly Belle suitcase, and a few other things, she finally decided on an Alice in Wonderland figurine set (figurines are her absolute favorite toys - she prefers them over baby dolls, barbies, everything) and a Rapunzel doll with looooong sparkly hair. Nice work, G&G and Brynn!


What a FUN birthday!!!!!!!!!

And by the way, if you are wondering about the sores on Brynn's mouth featured in the last 5 posts, we still are not sure what they are. I thought they were horrible cold sores that were getting infected, so the dr. gave us some medicine for them. But for 2 months they still just never went away, so then they recommended hydro cortisone lotion, and for now they have gone down again. I'm still skeptical, since they've done this multiple times and then come back, but we'll just wait and see.
