She wasn't really "feeling" the photo shoot this year at the beginning! But with promises of chocolate, who couldn't resist smiling. :)
And here's MORE!
Brenna has flourished this past year! Especially academically! She had a few months of preschool in the spring and learned a lot. She can recognize all her capital letters and half of the lowercase, can count to 20, knows all her shapes, colors and can write her name very well! She is on track to starting Kindergarten next fall. Yay and :*(
Brenna had a few birthday celebrations this year. The day of her birthday we had just moved into our new house a couple days prior. She woke up to a small mountain of pink presents and got to choose her favorite lunch spot. That night we invited all our family over to celebrate Frozen style. The kids played a game in the backyard and we all ate pizza and had Frozen cupcakes.
A few days later, nine of Brenna's best pals came over for a special Princess surprise.. Princess Anna from Arendale came! She told them stories, played princess games, crowned Brenna 'Princess of the Day', face painting and took a special photo with each girl. It was a magical day!
At Brenna's preschool, they also had her bring cupcakes to celebrate her birthday a few days after THAT, so we were all birthday-d out! I also got to come with her to school and tell the kids a little bit more about "Brenna". She probably had the "best birthday ever" this year... at least that's what I tell myself. :)
