Happy Birthday Brielle!

This year Brielle's actual birthday fell on a Tuesday.  We celebrated with a special breakfast, lunch with mom at school, cupcakes with her class, dinner at the pizza machine and then some presents from the family.  She had seen that big stuffed owl weeks ago at Sams Club and been asking for it ever since.  We also go her a couple of mermaid barbies.  She got a Justice gift card from Oma and Opa and a wheelchair for her American Girl doll from Grandma (as per her request).  I think she was a happy girl.

And that Saturday we had her party...

Pumpkin Painting

 Then we played Games: Pin the Face on the Jack-O-Lantern

 And a candy corn relay where you had to use a spoon in your mouth to transport candy corn from one bowl to another.  It was quite fun to play and even more fun for us adults to watch.

 And then on to presents...

 And cake.  This year Makenna took on the task of decorating.  She did a great job and Brielle was very pleased.

Brielle is a beautiful girl who truly lights up our lives.  Hearing her sing and hearing her laugh just makes me happy.  She is such a joy to have in our family.  I miss her so much now that she is in school.  I wish she would stop growing up!  Happy Birthday Brielle.  Love you so much!
