Brought to You by the Letter 'B' and the Number '2'

Hello 3bg's blog readers.... all three of you. Just kidding. No, but seriously!
Crazy news here... the little lady who has been the STAR of our blog since we started it over two years ago has turned TWO years old. Can you believe it?!?! A party was in order for this little girl especially since we didn't get to do one for her first birthday seeing as how we had just moved here. And who better to center our celebration around other than our favorite red, furry friend...
ELMO!
She just adores him. And to be honest, so do we. If it is bedtime, you may sometimes find the three of us cuddled up on the couch winding down to a few minutes of Elmo. He sort of intrigues Brent and I. His ability to reach out to these kids and love them, and all from the television screen. K. Please don't think we're weird.
On to party pics...!

K, you guys. Here is the real reason I took that cake decorating class in April. So I wouldn't be a complete failure for birthday cakes. 6 hours start to finish. Awesome.

Oh and party favors with "Elmo's favorite things" that had goldfish and crayons in the sack... like Elmos's song... "lalalala... Elmo loves his goldfish, his crayon, too...that's Elmo's world.."

You've heard the song, right?

Blowing out the candles

Attempting a picture of the kids. Quite unsuccessful.

This is what Brent gave her for her birthday. I like to say Brent gave it to her because I don't really want to admit that I had part in giving my little girl a basketball stand for her birthday. But... she does really love it. The best part is that she got these darling princess shoes with a crown and earrings at the party and she'll put them on and then go and shoot a basket. At least she can take on both roles in her play, right?
Happy Birthday to our Brookie-Bear!!!!!

Such a cute birthday party Beth! You did an awesome job planning that out, every looks so so good. And you have pretty much the cutest 2 year old girl I've ever seen.

Happy Birthday little Brookie, I can't believe it. It feels like just yesterday you were pregnant with her and she was a brand new baby. Cute party idea Beth.

Oh it looks like a delightful party. I'm sure Brooke just loved every minute. I got the scoop from Vicki too on just how fun it all was. What a fabulous mom you are! She is one cute, lucky gal!

We had super fun! I JUST now realized the whole "elmo's favorite things" deal! You're so creative! And I have to say that basketball goal was quite a success!

Hey Bethany, what ward do you go to there? I have a friend who just moved to San Antonio with her little girl who is just Brooke's age! You guys should definitely hook up.

It turned out so well Bethany! Great job on everything. I forget that Maddie and Brooke are only 5 months apart. They would be such great friends if we lived closer!
