The Birthday girl

Brynlyn wanted to make her own cake this year. I agreed even though I had a surprise cake in the making. She did just about everything except putting it in the oven.
Even taste tested before and after baking.
Plenty of sparkly toppings and frosting. She taught me how to decorate her way. From the way you hold the sprinkle's bottle to how much goes in each corner.

the morning of the Birthday! Brynlyn had her first sleepover... very exciting. The girls had so much fun together.
Damen and Lydia were able to celebrate with us for dinner, cake, ice cream and presents.
Waaa hoooo to Brynlyn's princess cake! I planned on making my own version of this cake and became to busy the week before her birthday to make it happen. Over the past month Brynlyn has told me she would have an Ariel cake, Belle cake, Princess cake, Big girl cake and Pony cake. So I mixed as many as possible and ordered this Princess castle cake a couple days before.
Grandpa Carl helped Brynlyn open her presents. She received a My little Pony house, a Polly Pocket water roller coaster, bike helmet and accessories, cute pj's & shoes, a new big girl camera, cowgirl Jesse doll, rollerskates and more. So spoiled!!
The girls loved the family birthday party! There are so many birthdays in June. We ate, sang happy birthday, opened presents, then took the kids swimming.
Peyton hated every minute of the pool. I think it was a bit to loud for her with 20 or so kids splashing and screaming. I have claw marks on my arms to show for it.

Opening presents from Riley and family. The girls love the new dresses and wore them the next day. Peyton loved the tags!
Riley helped Brynlyn with her new skates from Grammy! Super happy kid!

What a fun celebration, and there is still more to come. Many of the family members are out of town, so we have 2 more celebrations coming!
I can't believe my oldest is 4. Where has the time gone.
