It's hard to believe that our little "Midge" is already 5 years old! How does time go so quickly? There was a lot of warnings about this...guess, you don't truly understand until it is actually happening!
FLOWERS & BUTTERFLIES:
Brooklyn asked her friends Avery and Lauren to come over to help celebrate. We had "stained glass painting", making individual pizzas on the grill, pinata smacking, cake and just having a good time!

Swing hard, Birthday Girl!
The string didn't hold so Daddy had to hold it up.
Isn't this where the "Funniest Home Video" happens???

THE NEWS...before Brooklyn's party we told the girls the exciting news. Scott and I decided to tell the girls at this point because people were coming over and mama wasn't hiding the budda very well anymore.
Alex was finally going to know what Brooklyn has been going through being the "Big Sister". It is now her turn. The girls were soooo excited! A real live baby! After the party, we called other family members for Alex to say "I'm going to be the big sister now". Some were quicker on picking this up than others....not to name names...Pop! I know, I know...you needed a translator :) HA....still don't have that recipe, Dad!!!
Those pictures make me wish it was warm!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd did you make that cake?!?!?!
I was thinking the same thing, Becky. It will get warm again, right???
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, I made the cake.
