Happy Birthday Brookie!

September 21

The birthday fairy (a cousin of the tooth fairy) visits our home on the eve of each child's birthday. In the stealth of night, she creatively decorates the bedroom with streamers, signs and balloons, even making a curtain in the doorway. Unbelievably, this tradition is extremely anticipated, even more than the presents and parties.

What a great treat! I got to help in Brooke's 1st grade classroom on her birthday, thanks to my MIL being in town to watch my other littles. I love helping in the class and seeing them in that environment.

Here are SIX things about YOU:

1. You have an infectious smile and laugh

2. Your energy amazes me

3. You are so smart, witty, quick and completely terrified of all animals, regardless of size

4. You love and are such a good example go your brother and sisters

5. You are a thoughtful, considerate friend, a great missionary, and totally darling

6. You are a great companion to look at model homes with

Happy Birthday Brookie Cookie! I love you!
