This November, we got a special visitor - Brookie came for her birthday! About a month before she came, I told Case that Brookie was coming to our house for her birthday and I asked him what kind of birthday party we should have for her. I don't really know what I was expecting him to say, but I am so glad I asked him because it turned into quite the fun planning session. First he said we should have a "brookie party", when I asked him what that meant he said, "no, no, I think she would want a cars party... wait, no, no..." And on and on the conversation went. We brain stormed for about 30 minutes (I'm not kidding) and his decision was made... Brookie would have a Cinderella Birthday Party!
I sort of thought the next day he would forget about it, but that didn't happen. For the next month, he talked quite a bit about Brookie's cinderella party! So I figured, why not go with it and have some fun! We made a trip to Walmart where he wanted to buy every cinderella themed thing in site! Somehow we lucked out and all of the cinderella things were on clearance!
Finally the big day was here! While I worked on the cake, the kids made cinderella cards for Brookie. On the inside Case colored a "spaceship" and had me write something like "This is Brookie's spaceship so she can fly into space and live there, shhhhh it's a surprise!" Then Sadie colored a "spaceship" in her card too :)
Case also cut up this orange piece of paper and then glued the pieces onto a different piece of paper that was Brookie's Castle. I was actually quite impressed that it really looked like a castle!
We picked Brookie up from the airport and when we came home, she went and unpacked while we decorated and got ready for the party.
The kids were quite excited...!
Sadie is holding a scroll that said, "Hear ye! Hear ye! Princess Brookie is hereby invited to the Wassink Castle for a Royal Ball!" And Case is holding a crown for her!
Sadie presenting the scroll!
And Case presenting the crown!
Princess Brookie and the kids!
The cake I made... I figured it was good practice for someday making a castle cake when Sadie wants a princess party!
We had supper, gave Brooke her presents and cards the kids made and then it was time for cake - and Sadie had no problem digging in!
Then we snuggled up and watched Cinderella for the first time! The kids loved it!
The next morning was Brookie's actual birthday so the kids and I made her breakfast in bed and the kids got to eat their cereal in Brookie's room. They of coarse had her wear her crown again!
