Brynn's 3rd Birthday

My darling girl turned 3 in June! Here is Brynn with "Sally," the rocking horse she inherited from Eli. She loves to ride and ride, shouting, "ride em' cowboy!" and "yeeeeehaw!"

Her actual birthday was low key. The kids had hand, foot and mouth disease so we had quarantine ourselves for a few weeks and postpone the birthday party. I did make her a birthday cake with her favorite ingredients; chocolate and strawberries. You've never met a chocoholic until you've met Brynn.
Nothing better than licking the beater!

Once the kids were all clear from hand, foot and mouth and I had sanitized every inch of the house, we had a little family party because the Camp's have 6 birthdays in June! Brynn, Lexi, Katie, Lily and Mom (Camp) all have birthdays within two weeks of each other and my newest little niece Aubrey Camp was born on June 29th! The girls each got their own cakes, including Mom. Hers was a salted-carmel-chocolate cake, which I highly recommend. It's another Martha Stewart recipe but no complaints here. The time spent making it is so worthwhile.

One of Brynn's favorite gifts; a litttle mermaid bath doll

Oma and Opa gave both Brynn and Lily Sleeping Beauty dresses. This is the "princess pose." I never noticed the processes doing this in the movies, but both girls inherently pose like this when wearing a princess dress.
Had to throw some blue into this frilly, girly post! Love this little man.

Brynn has never had a "friend" party and was begging me for a 'princess tea party' this year. I kept it small and kicked out the boys! Backyard parties are so nice, easy clean-up!

Little girls love tea parties. Lunch/Treat table

In lieu of goodie bags, we gave out birthday bubble and white-chocolate dipped marshmallows.

The princesses: Sidney, Brynn and Taylor

Carly, Brynn and Laci

Aubrey and Brynn

Look at all that frilly-ness!

Happy 3rd Birthday Brynndy! We love you "lots and lots and lots!"

Brynn is still the cutest little girl. I love her curls. :) & Eli is getting so grown up looking. You are such a good Mom, you almost inspire me to cook, but haven't gotten there yet. Glad to see you updated your blog. :)

Dawn, I got them at Hobby Lobby...in Texas. I miss that store so much! They were cheap too, only $4 for a pack of 3. And nooo Amanda, I only made Brynn's and my mother in laws.
