.come on party people.

We celebrated Brynn's birthday on the Sunday before her birthday this year. I invited my family to come up after church for dinner and cake.

We ate home made pizza and salad.

Josh helped me with the cupcakes and decorated every single one of them himself! It was so much help, I couldn't have done it without him.

We were up late the night before working on the desserts. Here's the butterfly cake I made.

On a previous trip to Walmart I grabbed a couple of hula hoops thinking they would be fun for the kids and I. We broke them out at the party. Gage is really good and enjoyed showing off his stuff.

Zach in on the action.

Aunt Katie workin' it with Gage.

And finally Aunt Amy. We had the best time laughing at each other.

Brynn enjoyed her first taste of cake!

After cake and ice cream we opened presents. I was surprised at how much Brynn liked all the attention. She just ate it up!

Katie gave her a baby stroller which she loves! (Thanks for the suggestion Ashley). She puts her babies in it and pushes it around everywhere.

Aunt Amy gave her an adorable taggy blankie.

And Grandma gave her her very first purse!

We had a great time. Thanks so much to my family for making the drive up to share it with us!

Happy Birthday Brynnie!
