Brynlee Turns 5!!

On Saturday, February 8th, we went to Chuck E Cheese for Brynlee's birthday celebration. That's where she requested, so we went. Even though I think it's always so much better in theory than it ever is in real life (even for the kids!) But we still had a fun time and Bryn enjoyed the attention and fun. 

On Sunday was her for real birthday. Kenny was kind enough to cancel his EQ mtg. that they normally have every Sunday at our house at 7 a.m. This enabled us to have a family breakfast. She requested scrambled eggs and toast, which was probably a good thing because we never have much time for breakfast with a 9 a.m. church.

After we got home (in the 20 minutes we had before Kenny left again for another mtg.) she opened her presents. Look at this smile! She loves opening presents :)

 Her sisters were so excited and happy for her. Kelsey went over and hugged Bryn, and Madison couldn't help but get in there too. :) Sweet sisters.

 Her favorite outfit (from Grandma) on her most favorite present--a brand new bike! She is just dying to get outside and ride it--we can't wait for the ice and snow to melt! The next day I found her outside in the backyard with a pair of scissors. I asked her why she needed scissors in the backyard. She told me she was trying to chop up all the ice and bring back summer. Tyler told her that it was going to be A LOT of work for one little pair of scissors and she may need something bigger. :)

Always a ham--conducting the family chorus of "Happy Birthday"

Brynlee is such a happy girl with a love of life and a beautiful light about her. We are so blessed to have her in our family and hope she always knows how very loved she is! Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
