June 2010--Brooklyn's 5th Birthday

Brooklyn celebrated her 5th birthday while we were out in California in June.  We spent the first part of the day at the beach, and then we had a fun family "surprise party" for her that evening.  Before her birthday Brooklyn told me that she wanted to have a surprise party and told me all of the elements that were needed for it:  Balloons, streamers, party hats, presents, pizza, soda and cake.  Grandpa and Jacey took care of the decorating, I made her a soccer ball cake, and the guys went out to get the pizza and soda.  As you can see, she got lots of fun presents and loved being able to spend her birthday with Grandma and Grandpa, Michael, Jeff, Amy and Austin.  She is such a fun and precocious girl and we love having her in our family!  Happy Birthday to our Brookie-Tookie!
Cute birthday girl at the beach!
She loved playing with Uncle Jeff in the waves!
Landon absolutely hated the beach!  (he must get it from California Grandma)
Meanwhile, cousin Austin was absolutely content.

Jacey and Grandpa did a great job with the decorating.
Way too many presents
I am actually quite proud of my cake decorating skills here!
Landon's ready for the party!
Surprise!
Queen of the party!
Priceless reactions to opening Grandma, Grandpa and Michael's gift!

So happy to have Super Mario Bros. for the Wii!
Making a wish. . .
Hoping it will come true!
Blowing so hard she is cross-eyed!
