Happy Birthday, Brooklyn!

I spent Brooklyn's 5th birthday getting ready to come home from the hospital, so she didn't get a big birthday party with her friends. I did stop at the store and pick up a giant cookie with "Happy Birthday, Brooklyn" on it. We'll still have her family party at Sunday dinner, with a cake and ice cream. She was very excited to finally get to open her present. She found a set of tiny ponies in my closet about a month ago, and would sit in front of the package and just gaze fondly at them, awaiting the day when they would finally be hers. I didn't bother with wrapping paper, and she didn't seem to mind. I can't believe that she is my big 5-year-old.
