Birthday Girl

My baby girl is 4!!! It was Brynlie's birthday on Sunday, and she could barely sleep the night before. On Saturday we went to the store (which was our first family outing with all 5 of us that would deserve a post of it's own if I had the strength to type every horrific detail) and Brynlie got to pick out everything she wanted for her birthday breakfast and dinner. For breakfast we all sat down to big bowls of Hannah Montana cereal, pink juice and grapes. For dinner Brynlie wanted pancakes, strawberries and vanilla pudding. I have to say that Brynlie inspired me to try the pudding with the pancakes, and it was so good! I think I'll have it every time we make them. (I can picture Jeremy dry-heaving as I type that.)



Brynlie insisted on making her own "polka dot" (funfetti) cake with sprinkles, so she and Jeremy whipped it up during conference sessions. (Pay no attention to our last minute candle.)


This girl is OBSESSED with Littlest Pet Shop. And if you didn't notice, she insisted on being a ballerina for the day as well.

We went over to my parents for her birthday dinner, and Grandpa couldn't have the grandkids over without making them into pizza. He used to do this with us when we were little...and still does sometimes with Lauren :) The grandkids know if they lay down in a row then the "Swedish Chef" comes to bake them.

Brynlie has been dying to turn 4 because she knows that she can now go to pre-school. She asks me every night if she'll still be 4 when she wakes up the next day. She has to be reassured that she wont be 3 again. Bryn is still a "square". That's what they always tell her at the doctors office. Her height and weight are always the same number. She's 40x40 now. I saw on another blog that every year the mom interviews the birthday kid. I thought it would be fun to look back on some day. Here's what B had to say...
