Brookelyn Turns 5!

Brookelyn's birthday was a wonderful whirlwind! She woke up to find her huge blow up birthday cake (a tradition we have started) waiting for her!Then, it was time for breakfast, and some birthday candles on her pancakes.Braedyn had to get in on the candle action too!
Aunt Barby sent them both money for their birthdays and so they decided to go to Build a Bear. It was a first for them both, and they had a blast making the bears!
Here is Brookelyn making a wish on her bear's heart before putting it inside.
And, here is B-man giving his new puppy a nice bath!Brookelyn put her bear in it's new home and was on her way!
Later that night, Gramma and Grampa stopped by with lots of birthday love.
The next day, the celebration continued at school! Here is the cake she brought to share with her class:
Brookelyn had a great time!
Saturday was her birthday party at gymnastics! Here is the birthday girl:
Braedyn loved hanging like a little monkey from the bars (you can see big sis in the background too)!
Here is Brookelyn taking the leap into the pit!
This was her birthday cake from her gymnastics party:
Everyone sang and she made her wish!
Brookelyn told me it was her "best birthday ever!"
