Brooklyn's Big Day

Brooklyn turned 2 last Sunday. It is definitely bittersweet. She is so much fun right now and as she grows, but she is definitely not my baby anymore. Brooklyn had more of a birthday week than birthday.

For her Birthday we threw Brooklyn her first friend birthday party at Chuck-e-Cheese. We had so much fun. Our friends the Irwins, the Barrs and the Ewings came. Brooklyn helped make the invitation, party bags, and even the cupcakes. She enjoyed all the preparations and LOVED the party. All the kids seemed to enjoy Chuck-e-Cheese and I think all in all it was a big success, at least for Brooklyn. She got some fun presents and she loves them all.

Brooklyn's best friend Belle wasn't able to make it to the party, so they had their own little birthday celebration at Culvers earlier in the week. Belle was so excited to give Brooklyn her present and Brooklyn was definitely excited to get it. They giggled and laughed and played in the restaurant afterwards.

On Thursday I needed to go to Phoenix for the day and Grandma and Grandpa Arnot were happy to show up and play with her for the day. They got her a new Little Einstein DVD for the trip that we still have not been able to put away. She keeps asking for her "new Einsteins".

We also had cake and presents for her at home on her actual birthday which was Sunday. Needless the say, the girl cleaned up and loved every minute of it. It is so fun to see her so young and innocent. She was excited and loved it all with no let down because she is too little to have anticipation. I think this definitely has to be one of the best ages.

Thanks to everyone her made her birthday a hit.

Sorry there is like a bazillion pictures, but I couldn't pick just a few. Look at your own risk.

We loved celebating with Brooklyn! She was a great host and Belle loved shopping for her! All of the birthday pictures are super cute and I love your slide show. They are at a fun age and are getting so cute "playing" together! Belle LOVES going to Brooklyn's house!

Sounds fun! I wish we could have been there. Give her a big birthday hug from her boyfriend Ryan. I can't wait to plan his party. It is all about tractors this year.
