A Visit to Brynn's Preschool

At Brynn's preschool, during each student's birthday week, their mom gets to go to their class one day to share a few things about their child. The parent gets to read their son or daughter's favorite book and then share the All About Me book that the child has filled out and drawn in. The child being honored also gets to bring a show and tell item to talk about. I was so excited to get a turn to do just that with Brynn this month. I loved seeing her and all of her little friends together, so enthusiastic about learning. Her teacher, Miss Rhonda, is an awesome teacher and the kids really love it there!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday, we had a little birthday party for Brynn and Collin. They had cake, a pinata (a birthday tradition they love), and lots of family--the 3 things they really wanted to celebrate their special days.

The Gifts

Trance helping Collin open some gifts
A bat and ball...he was already dreaming of all the fun he would have with those.
Brynn loved and appreciated the gifts she received, but she wasn't so crazy about all the attention. MaJesta provided a little moral support.
At the end, Dave rode in on Brynn's gift from us
Again, she was excited for the gift, but self-conscious from all the attention.
As the guests were leaving, Brynn took her new bike out for a test run.
Happy Birthday to 2 of the best things that ever happened to me!
