Brynlie's Birthday!

I uploaded my pictures in the wrong order so I'll have to tell about Brynlie's birthday backwards. Brynlie turned 5 on Jan 4th. I can't believe it! She'll forever be three years old to me. With her birthday being so close to Christmas, I always end up planning her celebration at the last minute. She usually gets the short straw when it comes to her birthday and she has never had the huge celebrations like Rylie gets. I feel pretty bad about this and always think I'll do better. But this year came and she told me she wanted a Super Mario Brothers party. This was a few days before her birthday and I knew I wouldn't be able to find anything for a party like this without ordering online and there wasn't time for that. So once again I feel really bad and we try to make up for it. Her birthday was on a Tuesday so Monday we took her bowling in Preston at the good ole Pop n Pins.

Some of her cousins were able to make it to the bowling party. It was a open invitation type of thing since this was so last minute. We just told people we were going bowling and if they wanted to join us they could.
After bowling we all pitched in for pizza and went to Jordan and Suzanne's house. They were nice enough to let us do this at their house so we wouldn't have to go all the way to ours. The kids have tons of fun playing together and Brynlie got lots of presents. She ended up getting a nail polish kit so of course they had to try it out in the room that Suz has all her nail stuff set up. Here they are at the nail table painting Brynlie's nails


Seth had to get in on the action too and he did a good job.



The finished product.



Okay, so the day before the bowling party was the day we had her cupcakes. We weren't going to do anything on Sunday but then we didn't know if anyone could come bowling so on Saturday (again last minute) we decided to have people come up for some cupcakes and ice cream on Sunday. My parents couldn't make it and my sister Mindi lives an hour away so we knew she wouldn't be able to make it last minute. But a few people on Porter's side were able to come.


Brynlie got a lot of Liv doll stuff and I think she had a pretty good birthday. She was a really good sport, even though she didn't get her Mario party. She is not a complainer and we are very thankful to have Brynlie in our family and we love her very much.
