Happy Birthday Brielle!

Today Brielle turns 5!

My favorite things she said in the first 20 minutes of being awake:

"Wakey, Wakey! I'm 5!!"

"Mom, aren't you forgetting to sing me happy birthday?"


"Mom, aren't you forgetting about my cake?"


"Do you know why the house is decorated like this? It's because today I'm 5! It's my birthday!!"


"Daddy is NOT supposed to work on my birthday!"


"Today's my birthday, so I get to do ANYTHING I want! Can I even choose what I get to drink with breakfast?"

I'm pretty sure she's not at all excited.

I made her cake yesterday and today. It's SUPPOSED to be a princess castle, but it turned out a little topsy turvey. However, Brielle LOVES it and couldn't be more excited. So, that's all that matters, right?

I regretted questioning her request for a "square chocolate cake with white frosting" right away as she quickly changed her mind to a "castle". Seeing as I'm a sucker for making a big deal out of birthday's, and we're away from home where a party would have happened, I just couldn't say no.

Happy Birthday Brielle!

WE LOVE YOU!

(This is a little "interview" I did when she first woke up this morning about being 5 years old. Please excuse 1. My stuffy nose voice, my allergies are terrible. 2. Her crazy hair - she just woke up. 3. The red juice mustache, that is leftover from yesterday even AFTER scrubbing. 4. Claire trying to get in on the shot and sing the ABC's. She's such an attention hog.)
