Brook's Birthday Eve

 The day before Brook's 3rd birthday, we got together with some friends at one of Brook's favorite places... Bounce U!

 

Little brother was wiped out just watching all the bouncing!

Then we headed to another favorite... Chick-fil-A for lunch and cupcakes!

And finally topped off our day with some rides at the mall!

 What a fun kick off to Brook's 3rd birthday!

Keeping Brook Busy

One of the biggest challenges we have been facing since baby #2 has come along is how to keep our very active toddler busy during the cold winter months while keeping an infant close to home.  

A.K.A.

The goal of every day: To wear Brook out before she wears us out!

Most days we do not meet our goal, but here are some things she's been doing to have a little winter fun!

Playing in the snow!

Visiting an alpaca farm with friends.

Going to iPlay America...it's like an indoor boardwalk with rides, games, food, and lots of fun!

We've made it half way through the winter, come on Spring!!!

Mommy's Birthday

The day began with lots of hugs and kisses!

And wonderful birthday cards with stickers

Then cookie birthday cake for lunch!

And chocolate cake for dinner!

What a wonderful birthday!
