BROOKLYN'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

Today was Brooklyn's first birthday and we got to go to the Zoo to celebrate. For all of you in Utah, Ohio, and Idaho (he,he, ha, ha,) this is why I live in Arizona. The day was perfect and we had a great time. There were quite a few people there because it was MLK day and everyone was out of school but that's okay it's a big zoo.



As you can see Brooklyn has the best seat in the house.


See the hippo in the background.


Always lots of fun with Grandpa.


Just wanting to be a big girl.


Oh yeah we're cool.

I got a few smiles this time.



Tonight we went out to Nicholas and Jackies for the official birthday celebration. Both sides of the family were there plus lots of friends. Brooklyn has five older cousins and they were very excited about helping Brooklyn with her cake and presents.

Very cute hat but Brooklyn not particularly thrilled with it.


Jackie made her cake. It was very cute. She said Brooklyn picked it out herself.


You mean I get this whole thing?


Uncle Brandon enjoying the festivities.


Mommy and Daddy gave me this great rocking horse.


Brooklyn got plenty of toys and clothes for her birthday. I think all and all it was a very special day for a very special little girl.

we're sad we missed the fun, looks like you guys had a good time. p.s. it wasn't ice cream, it was frozen yogurt. :)

Well! This sort of makes up for the fact that when I called Brooklyn, she said she was too busy getting ready to go to the zoo to talk to me.

Looks like Joshua acted as her transportation at the zoo.

Just think - if you HAD been in Utah, you could have taken Brooklyn sleigh riding!

Very cute pictures.

Love, Grandma Lewis
