Happy Birthday Brooklyn

Brooklyn turned 5 years old this past Sunday and boy did she enjoy all of the birthday festivities. It all started on Thursday, the 1st where she had her entire preschool class along with other family and neighbors over for a party. There were 19 kids total at the house. She made out pretty nicely with all the gifts. Then on Sunday we went up to Mike and Marinda's for their daughter Abby's baby blessing. We were able to sing to her then as well. She loves it when people sing happy birthday to her as you can hopefully tell in the video clips below. We can't believe how quickly she is growing up. She just had her pre-kindergarten doctor's appointment. I can't believe she'll be going to kindergarten this fall. Hope you all enjoy the pictures and video clips. This one is of all the friends that came to the party along with a picture of Brooklyn in her new little birthday outfit. And of course her Birthday stash of birthday gifts she received and an explanation of those gifts in a video clip. Kaley had a group of kids down in the basement where she was letting them run around and burn off some of the energy. This game was an animal game where they had to act like a certain animal while the music played and then fall down on the floor when it stopped. I think they're supposed to be tigers or lions on this one. Brooklyn isn't in the clip, but Isaac is in the orange shirt. And finally we have the kids singing Happy Birthday to her. The clip after it is when we sang to her at Mike and Marinda's (the guy sitting on the couch at Mike and Marinda's is Mike's brother Tim). Granted she really didn't need any more gifts for her birthday, Tami and I had to get her something. So we got her a bike. She wasn't the most thrilled with it and is a little scared of the falling over on the bike even though it has training wheels. However I think that once it gets warm again and we can go outside, she'll get used to it pretty quickly. Whew! Tami assured me that we would not have big birthday parties like this every year. It really wasn't that bad.
