Happy Birthday Brianna

Our little angel is 5! I just can't believe how quickly the last 5 years have gone by. The joy I feel when looking at her is unexplainable. I remember her birth like it was yesterday, however I can't remember what we did with our lives before she was born.

Here she is just a few hours old on 1-31-2004

For Brianna's 5th Birthday, I wanted to do something special. She loves going to the Carousel in Salem, so we rented the party room and let her invite all of the friends she wanted.

I spent lots of time and put in a lot of effort to make goody bags, cookies, the cake and plan a splendid event. I think it went pretty well. She had all of the people who she really wanted there and everyone seemed to have a fun time.

The cookies...

The cake...

The set up...

The kids had a great time coloring, playing pin the nose on the clown, riding the Carousel, eating cake, cookies & ice cream and Brianna loved opening presents.

Riding the Carousel...


Brice had to wear his goggles! Such an independent and funny guy...


Brianna's smile says it all... can you tell she is delighted that her "crush" is riding next to her.

Birthday Girl!!!
Brianna had very generous family and friends. The kids all gathered around while she opened the gifts.

Everyone helped open presents!

I remember a few of my birthday parties from when I was a little girl. How fun they were and how special I felt having my family and friends surround me. I think that Brianna felt that way and I hope that this is one of the Birthday's that she remembers.
