Brynnie turned 3!

To kick off our very busy May, Brynna turned 3! Wasn't she JUST BORN? Sheesh, life comes at you fast.

The big girls made her a birthday banner.

She LIVES for the hype of her birthday.

Claire made her this decorative necklace.

She was feeling it.

Mom, Dad, and Amiee came into town for birthday/Brad's graduation weekend, so they got in on (and greatly contributed to) all the fun!

And true to form, Nana threw Brynnie a fantastic family birthday party! Flamingo-themed. "Fingo," according to Brynn.

She had gifts from friends and family, near and far:

She's holding a flamingo charm for her charm bracelet, as well as a plastic calculator from the Dollar Tree. She was equally enamored with both. Thanks, Nana and Poppy!

Puzzles from Brad and me. She is a PUZZLE GIRL. And she's very good at them.

Craft supplies from Uncle Tim and Auntie Jenna and Zoey!

Another book about our beloved Claris (from Aunt Sue)

Butterfly backpack from Aunt Donna and Uncle JD

Fluffy flamingo purse and fancy sunglasses from Mrs. Romine

More themed clothing that thrills her heart

May 7-May 11 were full of: Brynn's birthday, Brad's "graduation" and festivities, Mother's Day, and my birthday. Mom, Dad, and Amiee were here for everything except my actual birthday.

On Mother's Day, we ended up not going to church. Our church requests that if anyone has any symptoms that *could* mean COVID, that you stay home. Claire and Lily both had some seasonal allergies that weekend, and even though we knew it was allergies, we stayed home. That said, I still had them get dressed for pictures (they weren't so sick that this was a cruel mom move, btw).

It went super well, as you can see. It is a REAL challenge to get everyone looking and smiling at the camera at the same time. Bless us.

We had a great time celebrating Brynn. She's a sweet and sassy firecracker and doesn't look like any of us. We're so thankful that she's a part of our family!
