Brooke’s Birthday Bash

If there’s one thing everyone knows about Brooke, it’s that she LOVES music.  And when it’s on, she loves to DANCE.  To celebrate her special day, we joined forces with cousin Quincy whose birthday is just ONE year and a few days apart.  Q loves music equally as much – just give her a microphone and sit back and enjoy.

And despite the fact that she’s very much a princess, she only wanted to wear her tiara long enough for me to snap a few pics.  Despite the paparazzi of girls trying to “help” her put it on.bday
We invited family and a few close friends…and we had so much fun chatting and eating food – we almost ran out of time for all the singing and dancing.

Brooke had her own plate full in her high chair – but still insisted on having a lil rondevue just helping herself to others like it was no big deal.  It was her BIRTHDAY after all!  Luckily, Q didn’t mind either.  That’s what cousins are for!!

When it came to the cake, Brooke got a lil excited.  So much that she tried to grab the burning candle all by herself.

But the excitement was short lived…after a few small tastes of the frosting…she was DONE!

But there's always room for ice cream!!!  These lil microphones (aka mini ice cream cones) whee a huge hit!




Brooke had a grand ole time opening the presents – with the lil help from some friends.  She loved the fun books, clothes, toys, and especially the baby doll and stroller/car seat combo from Mom and Dad.  Now she can practice for next Fall when baby #3 comes along!

And last but not least, we sang and dance to our hearts content.  There was tons of music to be made and boogying-woogying going on.  Unfortunately, you can't hear the original song playing, so it looks like we're all being completely ridiculous.


And cuz I couldn’t decide on which one was the best, here’s a few for your viewing pleasure:

And then everyone else. 

Happy Birthday Brooke and Quincy!!! Our world wouldn't be complete with you in it!!!
