Went to bed as a 4 year old! I love surprising the kids on their birthdays immediately when they wake up. However, this mom has been a little busy and was not as prepared as usual, plus the added difficulty of not sleeping in her normal spot. Well thankfully I found a small handful of balloons hidden in a drawer in my desk. They were so old that literally ever other one popped or had a hole in it. The balloons were minimal but the sentiment was the same.
The birthday girl had requested breakfast in bed. She actually couldn't wait for her birthday for this present. She would ask for days before if it was time for breakfast in bed. Her cousins and brothers didn't think it was fair that she got to eat in bed while they had to eat at the table. I think that is what made it even more special for her. At least she invited them to sit with her!
After breakfast we skyped dad so he could watch Brilyn open up one gift. She agreed to wait until her birthday party to open up the rest. There was one special gift mom and dad were excited to share with her; her very own trick scooter! The boys both have nice trick scooters and Brilyn is often jealous of theirs. We knew it was time for her to have her own. We love going to the skate park and now we had enough scooters to share with our cousins so they could go with too!
The skate park was fun and each kid was excited to show off their moves. But it is Arizona and it is summer so it is HOT. We only lasted a couple hours then we had to find somewhere to cool off. A quick lunch at the house and we were off on another adventure. Brilyn had requested a trampoline park for her birthday. The giggles and laughs by not only the kids but the adults were contagious. We all had so much fun and wish the time didn't end. Dalan, Hunter, and Madison found the dodge ball court and wouldn't do much else. Brilyn, Brooklyn, and Jayen stayed near the obstacle course until Jayen left the girls for his one true love, basketball! The hour went way too fast.
We were headed home to make Brilyn's favorite meal, sushi, but received a call from the Mayberrys asking if we wanted to join them for a pool party. We let Brilyn decided and headed to the pool as soon as we were back in town.
The fun and laughter didn't end. We swam, ate, drank, and laughed; the way I would want to celebrate my birthday. We were even able to recreate a photo from last year featuring Brennan and Brilyn's floatie. Can't wait to try it again next year. He's going to get stuck one of these years.
