Our Brynnie is 12! For her birthday dinner, she chose Olive Garden with Italian donuts for dessert. They were super yummy. They reminded me of beignets..I think they pretty much were the same.
Last Friday night we had a couple of Brynn's friends over for a 'Nailed It' party. It's a show on Netflix where contestants try (and usually fail hilariously and miserably) to re-create amazing cakes. So, I made a taco cake that they had to decorate to try and match mine. I had already baked the cakes, so all they needed to do was frost/decorate.
Since Brynn was one of the 'contestants,' she didn't know what the cake was in advance. It was about as entertaining to watch them as it is watching the actual show.
My cake...
Leah, the redhead on the left, was the winner!
You can see Brynn mouth something during the middle of our singing...it was the most tween thing ever. Haha. We were singing 'happy birthday, Brynnie,' and she says...'don't call me Brynnie!' Oops. :-)
Saturday we celebrated with family...including Strawberry Shortcake.
Aww, our big girl. 💗
Ben set up a target wall of cups to knock down with the Nerf gun.
Adria attended the party as well and she and Clara had a great time playing all day and into the evening.
Brynn and Reagan headed to the lake with Grandpa and Grandma for an overnight visit which also included two stops to DQ. :-D
Reagan brought her cotton candy maker that she received for Christmas.
Working with the gift we gave her which was a little woodworking lathe.
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us, called Brynn, sent cards and wished her a happy birthday. Cheers to 12 years. We're not going to talk about next year yet. :-/
