Happy Birthday, Brooklyn!

Happy 7th  Birthday, Brooklyn!

 

 

 

On June 10th, Brooklyn turned seven.  In true Brooklyn fashion she had very specific requests for her birthday.  First, she did not want a traditional cake.  This girl is LOVES strawberries so we went with strawberry shortcake.  Second, she wanted a mermaid party with mermaid tails.  My favorite Sumatran sewing lady whipped up these cute mermaid wraps.  I wish, I had taken a picture of Brooklyn's two year old cousin wearing her tail.  It was too cute for words.  Brooklyn had a fantastic time.  It has been a long time since we celebrated with family.  It was wonderful having everyone in one room. 

Please mom no more pictures...just let me open my gifts.
