Brooklynn turns 3!

On Saturday, February 9th, we had family over and celebrated Brooklynn's 3rd birthday. She had been asking for a shark birthday party for quite some time, and Joy totally came through. After scouring the internet, she finally found plans to build a perfect shark cake, and also found shark balloons, napkins, and plates. The cake turned out to be an incredible work of art, and Brooklynn got her special shark party. She's also gone on the record and said that she wants a crocodile cake for her next birthday. Good luck with that one, Joy.

It's Circus Time!

We took Brooklynn to her first real circus at the BI-LO Center this past weekend. She talked about it all week, and when she finally got there, I don't think she was let down at all. It was so awesome to watch her take everything in. Of course the best parts for her were when there were animals out on the floor, and when there weren't, she was asking where they were. The elephants were definitely her favorite. The only thing that disappointed her was that I quote, "the tigers didn't come out of the cage and up the stairs to see me, I wanted to pet them." She's already talking about going next year...I'm really glad it only comes to town once a year. You can see even more pictures here.
