Happy Birthday Dear Brookie :-)

My sweet daughter finally turned 13! She is one of the youngest in her class as she skipped kindergarten going straight into 1st Grade at the age of 5 (about 1 week away from turning 6). She has a great group of friends! I took pictures of her with some of her friends during lunch when I took cupcakes to school. We went to Buca di Beppo that evening for a birthday dinner.

Here are a few things I LOVE about Brooke...

Beautiful inside and out.

Really smart and a hard worker.

Obedient.

Often expresses her gratitude.

Kind and friendly to everyone she meets.

Example to those around her.

A few pictures from her big day...

Just a few of her school friends.


"Princess Power!"


Nicole and Brooke enjoy their cupcakes.

Wow, your family are all growing up aren't they? I still picture Brooke as the cute little gal she was when I used to babysit, and now she's 13! Wow! Suddenly I feel old... Anyways, Happy Birthday Brooke!

LOL...that's Brooke's friend Nicole. She really wasn't sad; she must have been trying to look alluring in the photo :-)
