Brooke's Birthday party with the cousins

Last night we had a huge party for Brooke.  All the local family came and so we had a full house.  Brigham cooked out burgers for everyone and I made the cake.  Whitney picked the Dora theme for Brooke's party because she didn't really care, at least she didn't object to Dora and Boots on her cake. 

My mom and sisters-in-law brought toppings, chips and ice cream to help out with the food.  Here are a few pics from the party.

Right after she blew out her candle.  It was funny because she did a short little blow and the candle went out.  We were all a little shocked and Cousin Cameron in the background thought it was great too!  Brooke acts really mellow and shy around other people.  She didn't even smile when she blew out her candle on her cake and everyone cheered.  When we tried to get a video of it, she just sat there in a daze and didn't move.   

What a cute family!!

Brooke and Uncle Abe.  Brooke always just stares at him and is reluctant to give him any kind of satisfaction when it comes to a smile or a hug.  She's even turning away in the pic lol. Don't feel bad Abe, she's like this with most people.

Brooke tried to go play with her new doll and stroller before she was done opening all of her presents.  I had to refocus her attention to the unopened gifts.

 I wanted to get Brooke something special for her b-day.  When Whitney turned 2 we got her a play kitchen and she's played with it everyday since.  I decided on a doll cradle and high chair for her baby dolls.  Both girls love to put their babies to bed and feed them, so I thought it would be nice to get them doll furniture.  Brooke opened tons of presents from family members(which was really nice of them to bring her a gift...thanks!).  At the end I brought out the cradle and high chair covered with a blanket and when Brooke took the blanket off she was so excited!  More excited then she'd been all night!  Thanks to all that came, we had a great time and hope that you did too!
