Fun To Be 5

Happy 5th Birthday Brinley Bear!!
Wow where does the time go. I can't believe that Brin is 5. This girl loves to be in the spotlight. She had everything for her birthday planned out exactly how she wanted it. First on the list--PRESENTS! She loves presents and who doesn't? So many fun things--money, Barbies, a new alarm clock for kindergarten, HSM dolls, and clothes--everything she wanted!!
She had plenty of helpers there to open her gifts with her. Her "boyfriend" Easton and his brother Canon came over to bring us some cinnamon rolls and stayed to help open presents. They're like the sons we never had. We love the Carter boys!!! Of course Baylee and Rylee were right in there too.
Her birthday was the same day as the Oquirrh Mtn. Temple dedication. So it made for an extra special day for her. We had a quiet and relaxing Sunday. Most of our family was out of town so we just celebrated with our own little fam. Brinley ordered fish sticks and homemade mac-n-cheese for her birthday dinner (yum I guess?!?). And she wanted chocolate cake puffs for her cake (last year for her b-day all she wanted was the Pancake Puff you see on TV--and that's what she got. She loves it!). So we made chocolate puffs and filled them with hot fudge and sprinkled them with powdered sugar. They were yummy!
She loved her day. Everything was how she wanted it except for one thing. I decorate their door to their bedroom on their big day. This year I bought big stars to stick on the door (like a movie star). I put a silver star on her door and she wanted pink because that is what Sharpay from High School Musical would have!! Oops! I'll have to get it right next year!
So much fun, so little time! The fun didn't end on her birthday though, we celebrated for a week. More birthday fun to come...
