Princess Brynn turns FOUR!

Brynn turned 4 today. She had much excitement and anticipation leading up to today ... and she wasn't let down. She truly enjoyed her party at the park and we didn't have meltdowns or any pee-pants. Whoohoo! Although not everyone we wanted to be there could attend we had a really great turnout of family and friends. A party at the park is a great idea ... no dirty house to clean up afterwards and lots of space for the kids to play. Getting everything there wasn't the most exciting thing, but well worth it.

It was just slightly interesting. Our party was from 10-noon and we didn't rent the pavilion (not paying $200!). We were taking our chances it wasn't booked. There ended up being someone who rented it from 12-6 and they showed up at 11:50 and wanted to boot us out of there so fast. We were done eating and had just finished our cake and ice cream so we graciously moved to the grass area under some trees to do the pinata and open presents. It actually turned out to be more fun like that!

Enjoy some photos.

In the morning, the birthday countdown ends. Brynn is 4!

Silly smirk from Derek who now by the way has 3 teeth!

The best nanny ever! ... her first child will be here soon, July 11.
We are very excited to meet Mia!!

Makes me nauseous just thinking about this photo and the spinning :)

Princess Cake (one of her only two requests for her party)

Great photo and yummy cake.

Cool Princess Castle pinata (the second of her only b-day party requests). No bats involved. Each kids takes a turn pulling a ribbon and the lucky one pulls the one that makes the bottom open and the goodies fall out.

Opening presents under the tree.

I am 4!

Blessed with so many gifts!!!

I cannot imagine life without Brynn. She somehow makes me laugh everyday and her laugh is so contagious. It's crazy to think how much she has grown in so many ways throughout this last year. Even though some of her behavior lately has been incredibly challenging I pray that I never forget that God gave her to us, how special she is, and that each day with her is an awesome gift. Mommy and Daddy love you soooo much Brynn!
