Brooke's 5th Birthday Party

Before we get into the new year, I need to post a very important day in December. December 8th was Brooke's 5th birthday! We had a puppy party. Yes, if you remember right, Brooke did have a puppy party two years ago. But since she asks for a real puppy almost every birthday and at Christmas, we decided to get our puppy fix with another puppy party. I invited our neighbor Town, to come and give us a little show with his two dogs Meg and Macie. It was a real treat for all the kids! They did tricks and he even let all the kids participate, especially Brooke! Who needs to pay for a clown or a magician when you can get just as much entertainment from your neighbor and his two dogs? Thanks again Town!!!!!!!!!







Then we painted bobble-head puppies. They turned out so cute!




Here they are trying to "Pin the Paw on the Puppy".



The kids really liked making their own "doggy collars". I just bought a bunch of charms and then ribbon. It was a hit!!!



And of course we had a pinata! Brooke picked it out. When we went to the store to find one, I was a little dissapointed to see that they didn't have any puppies. But as soon as Brooke saw this donkey, she said "Look Mom!! There is a dog one!" I sort of laughed and then said, you're right it is a dog. I love your imagination! But what is a party without a pinata???



Happy Birthday to our little Brooky. I guess you aren't so little anymore since you are 5 years old now. I sure do love you and your positive outlook on life. You make me laugh daily. I am sure going to miss you next year when you go to kindergarten. But until then, I will enjoy having you at home with me. I love you Brooke Valery Edwards!!!!
