Bree's Birthday Celebration


As we were running errands for the party throughout the week, Adrie would ask me if it was for Bree's birthday "celebration"-I didn't know she knew that word but it was cute to hear her use it! So we had Bree's puppy birthday celebration on saturday with both of our families.


Bree LOVES pretzels so we had to serve them.....we had some puppy paw print cupcakes (thanks for the idea Lex)..... each of the kids took home puppy dishes with scooby snacks (aka fruit snacks) and dog bones (aka pretzels).....

Each dog dish had their name in vinyl...


and we made a puppy cake....



Bree had to sneak some treats before the party started.
and she kept climbing up to the table trying to sneak the treats there too...

OPENING PRESENTS:



Bree was REALLY interested in opening her presents! It was really cute to watch her!

She got SO many cute things!!


-books, Pj,s, cute new outfits and baby legs, a new baby doll and diaper bag,


bubbles, blocks, flashcards, Ball toy, Build a bear elephant, bee bop band, and cinderella barbie.





She was lovin the adorable build a bear elephant uncle Tad and aunt Caitlyn gave her....





Trying on some new clothes.......


which turned into peek a boo.....


testing out the bee bop band....All the kids were lovin the new ball toy......

The kids made uncle Corbin be the principal when they were playing school


Bree was really excited to play with Madi

Bree's birthday part 1

We started out the birthday by letting her open two presents before dad went to work. Come on.....just let me open them NOW!



She was really excited about her new tea set that Ky and Adrie gave her-anything that plays music is a hit with her!




Then we went to lunch at Paradise Bakery to celebrate Bree, Tate and Amy's birthdays!



I surprised Kyra and checked her out of school to come with us.

Kyra took this picture for us



For dinner we had Bree's favorite-pancakes- and we even let her sit at the big table and feed herself! She is very into feeding herself lately which is good but she makes a huge mess!


I was really excited to use my new birthday tablecloth that Lacey gave me for Christmas!

Then we spent the evening playing with Bree's new things......

Birthday dinner

Kris wasn't able to be around on Bree's actual birthday because he had to work so late (till midnight to be exact) so we were able to sneak away to dinner for a few hours the night before her birthday.


Bree was most excited about her birthday ice cream sundae!

Happy Birthday Bree!




I can't believe my baby girl is 2 today! She brings us so much joy! 2 years ago I couldn't have imagined what our life would be like with her and today our family wouldn't be the same without her! I found this song through a blogging friend (Ella's mom)and I have loved it ever since! I posted the words because they are so perfect, especially the 2nd and 3rd verse and chorus!


Amazing by Janelle

The morning cold and raining,
dark before the dawn could come
How long in twilight waiting
longing for the rising sun

ohoh ohoh
Oh ooh

You came like crashing thunder
breaking through these walls of stone
You came with wide eyed wonder
into all this great unknown

ohoh ohoh
Ohoooh Oohh

Hush now don't you be afraid
I promise you I'll always stay
I'll never be that far away
I'm right here with you

[Chorus]
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
You are
You came from heaven shining
Breath of God still flows from fresh on you
The beating heart inside me
Crumbled at this one so new once i knew

ohoh ohoh
Oooh ooohhh

No matter where or how far you wander
For a thousand years or longer
I will always be there for you
Right here with you

[Chorus]
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
I hope your tears are few and fast
I hope your dreams come true at last
I hope you find love that goes on and on and on and on and on
I hope you wish on every star
I hope you never fall too far
I hope this world can see how wonderful you are

[Chorus]
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing...
You're so amazing you shine like the stars
You're so amazing the beauty you are
You came blazing right into my heart
You're so amazing you are...
