celebrating the day of her birth

even though we are going to celebrate on saturday, i'm all about birthdays and feeling special so i thought, why not celebrate a few times. i was so excited to go in her room and sing happy birthday to her when she woke up until...este and i opened her door and began singing and she immediately shook her head and said no. okay, so my little perfect birthday celebration bubble burst pretty early in the day. but it got much better. by the end of the day when we put a candle on a brownie she had "helped" me bake earlier, and we (este, quinn and myself) sang to her, she shined like she was a rock star....and we did that same thing at least four times until she had no more bits of brownie to stand the candle up with. i tried to take pictures throughout the day of our birthday adventures...here they be!
just woke up and running to her presents

she "helped" me fix pancakes for breakfast

played with her new kitchen a lot of the morning (i thought this would be great for her to play with while i get things done...but no, she insisted "mommy sit down!" i must admit though, i kinda got into it!)

she even got some reading in between all the activities!

we went to the park


made brownies

took a bath then got "pretty" in the mirror


saw grandpa and grandma for a little bit and ate pizza and brownie with her best bud, quinn. all in all, a fun day was had by all!
