When you woke up this morning, Brynn decided to read you your favorite book as a birthday present. I don't know if Brynn was really reading it, or just making up stories to go with the pictures, but either way, you were one happy camper to get full attention from her for a bit!
The theme this year for your birthday was "Dress Up Princess". Daddy and I could not have chosen a better 3 words to sum up your life so far! You LOVE dress up! You usually get yourself dressed in dress up right after jammies are taken off. Both sets of grandparents have bins of dress up, and when you visit, there is usually a trail of your clothes leading to the dress up bin. You take them off as you run to it, and you are always so excited to put on something fancy! 
Your birthday was the first time you have ever gotten to use the "red plate". I think you were pretty excited! 
I tried to make you a special dress up dress for your birthday, but it was too big, and you said, "This looks silly", and then refused to wear it. You spent the day playing with some of your new toys, and I got the stuff for your party ready. I decorated your cake (its the thought that counts right babe?), set up the garage for your "dress-up" party, and tried to get the house ready. 
We had dinner with the cousins, grandparents, your 3 friends, and their families. When each of your guests arrived, they got a bracelet, necklace, wand and tiara to start the dress-up fun. We ate pizza, carrots, salad, and watermelon. You wanted BBQ, but it was raining, so we made do with pizza. 
After dinner, the little girls were able to get their nails painted, and Auntie Christi painted faces. The boys loved the face painting option!!
After all the fun, you got to blow out the candles on your cake. Unfortunately the cake looked pretty bad by this point. The frosting melted due to the humidity in the air, combined with the heat from the oven. Also, the sparkler candles that I thought would make you smile, didn't really sparkle....at all. Sad.
You got a lot of really great gifts this year! Tons of girly dress up type things, as well as Polly Pockets, which you love to play with right now! 
When it was time for everyone to go, they each left with a lollipop that was decorated with a sparkly hair clip that I made for all the guests. 
I hope you had a great birthday baby! You are a joy in our lives!
