Brynlee turned 5 on the 17th of September. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. I remember just like it was yesterday, bringing her home from Banner Desert Hospital. She has grown and developed her very unique personality and I adore this little girl. She is my heart, my soul, the very essence of who I am.
She wanted to do something other than cupcakes to take to her class. I was relieved to be quite honest because I think cupcakes are SO overrated. It doesn't matter if you make them from scratch or from a box, they all taste the same. So......she chose to do candy kabobs instead. I think they turned out so cute. Although by the time we were done doing hers for her class and with all the kids except Amree helping, I was ready to poke myself in the eye with a kabob stick. Oh my heavens! I think Edge consumed more candy than he actually put on all 3 kabobs he made total in the 2 hours time we made them. It was fun though and she was so excited so it was well worth it.
Her flashing to the camera that she is "5" now! Of course for her special birthday dinner she chose to have McDonalds Chicken Nuggets, one of her all time favorites.
Doesn't she look so big?? It makes me kinda sad that she is growing so fast.
Auntie Heather, Uncle Alby, Easton, Gunner, and Porter brought gifts to the kids for their birthdays. They could not have chosen more perfectly.
Brynlee LOVES to color and has become quite the artist. Grammy got her an art set for her birthday so this went perfectly with it. Also notice the lip gloss.....This little girl is all girl for sure. She was delighted.
We also did cotton candy icecream cones for her to take to her class. We wrapped them up individually really cute. It was so nice to have something unique and different.
Grandma Jenine sent her a card in the mail with $10 just for her. She put it in her piggy bank but knowing Brynlee it won't stay there long.
Here she is in her cupcake birthday glasses Mr.White gave her at school. So funny! Grandpa Ryan was able to stop and visit too. It was such a fun surprise and I am so grateful for his continued effort to take the time, even if he knows he will only be in town for just a bit, to ensure that my kids feel his unconditional love and acceptance. He is by far one of the best men I know and we love and miss him dearly!
