Brenna's Birthday Party

Brenna had a great birthday party! I guess it was a really busy weekend because only 2 friends were able to come, but Brenna didn't know who wasn't there, and she had a blast!
The first thing we did was color princess pictures. This is Camary with her lovely picture of Sleeping Beauty.
Next the girls got all dressed up like princesses. I made skirts and shawls for the girls. James's sister Melanie came with her daughter Kylie, so they helped with nails and makeup. Each girl also got to decorate a crown to wear.
Taylie was in charge of "pin the crown on the princess" and she did a fantastic job. She drew the princess and the crowns, and helped the little princesses play the game. What a great big sister!
Next we all learned a princess dance. Such talent! Such grace! And the girls did all right too.
James's mom has a tradition of making the birthday cakes. She loves to do it and it saves me the trouble. Thanks, Mom! So here are the pretty princesses with the pretty princess cake.
Make a wish, Brenna! It was a fun party.

Brenna Turns 4

Brenna's birthday was on Wednesday. Here is a brief tribute to our favorite 4-year-old.Here is newborn Brenna. She slept for something like 10 straight hours after her first bath.
This is Brenna at age 1. Taylie was always putting this crown on Brenna's head.
Ah, Miss Brenna at age 2. Finally walking.
Brenna at age 3. You have to wait to see the "age 4" pictures. I'll do a post about her birthday party.
We sure love our girl! Happy Birthday Brenna!
