Brooklyn's Birthday Weekend

Brooklyn's birthday is not until this coming Friday but we decided to celebrate early since all her cousins would be in town. Charlie, and his sisters Liz and Anna ran the Hospital Hill 10k race Saturday.

Saturday morning Brooklyn woke up to find cousin Olivia who arrived Friday night after Brooklyn had gone to bed. She really was excited.


We started off the celebration with a visit to T-Rex restaurant. Brooklyn was scared and needed to be held for the first part of our visit. She really was a trooper, she just kept saying, "scared."



Dad taking a turn holding her. Eventually we traded sides of the table so she couldn't see the dinosaurs and she did much better:)



The whole gang(minus Mindy taking the picture) in front of T-Rex.




We headed back to the house to start Brooklyn's birthday party. Warren was awake at the very beginning and then slept for a couple hours, missing out on a lot of fun.



The cousins: Logan, Warren, Maura, Brooklyn, Gretchen, Olivia and Sophia.



The kids were ready to head out to the yard where Charlie and Jason set up a water extravaganza.



Olivia, Logan, Brooklyn and Liz.

Brooklyn was not too sure about all the water but with Aunt Liz's help, she turned into a little fish-or should we say mermaid:)

We finally came in to eat and do presents. Brooklyn received a lot of great gifts, thanks everybody!


We got her a new trike. Here's Brooklyn sitting on it for her first time. All the cousins took it for a spin as well.


After presents, we had cake. We had a great day thanks to friends and family.


Sunday, after church, we headed back out to the water park(our yard). Brooklyn had a lot more confidence day 2 and headed straight for the slide.



Plopping down at the end of the slip and slide. Brooklyn outlasted all her cousins on day 2. We headed in, ate lunch and had to say goodbye to Liz and the kids. Come again soon!
