The Very Long Birthday Celebration

This could also be the longest post ever. I should have made a slide show instead, but I didn't.
Brooklynn turned 3 last week. Her birthday celebrations started the Saturday before her birthday. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the birthday presents received that day from Grandpa L and Grandma C and Uncle J.

Next up was CPK on Monday night, the day before her Birthday...




About 11:00AM on her Birthday, she laid down on the carpet in the front room. I thought she was just tired, but soon realized that she had a fever so this is how she spent most of the day on her Birthday...


I felt so bad for her that I had Travis stop on his way home and get her a cake to help cheer her up. She enjoyed having the candles to blow out, but didn't want to eat any of the cake. She licked some frosting off of her fingers without thinking about it, she quickly stopped and wouldn't have any more.


We tried to get her to eat the cookie, but this is as close as she would get. It was obvious that she didn't feel very well,

but that didn't stop her from opening presents and enjoying it...

Friday night Grandpa R and Grandma C, her Aunt E, Uncle R and a few of her cousins came down and we went out for dinner. I should have taken some pictures, but I didn't so this is what we ended up with...

Saturday was the big Birthday party which ended up being with my family. She wanted a dog cake, so I figured this was a great opportunity to make her favorite dog...

She loved watching me as I made it and just giggled when it really started to look more like her dog.

Grandpa S & Grandma K took her over to Build A Bear after the party to get her a new dog.

I guess she was excited to take it home because she just took off. I went after her and had to take a picture since it was so cute to see her hauling such a big box out the door...

Thank you to everyone for making her day, or should I say her week, special. We love you all!!
