On Sunday Bree turned 5 (sigh)...we are officially out of baby and toddler stages. :( Bitter sweet birthday. We celebrated her bday on Saturday, since Nana and Papaw had to head back home on Sunday. Bree wanted to go to the aquarium and also one her favs...Mr Cheese...for dinner.
The aquarium was outside of Wilmington in a place called Fort Fischer...it was right on the ocean. Quick family pic before we headed inside.
My deal now with the girls is if they give me one good picture...then we can do one silly picture.
They had some really big alligators and they were right up against the class, starring right at you. The girls were a little afraid to get too close. Guess they thought it would come thought the glass. So they skooched just close enough for me to get them in the picture with the gator.
I love how Katie is leaning forward....ready to run if needed. :) It was kind of creepy how they just stare at you and don't even move. Glad there was a piece of glass in between.
Papaw and Bree checking out the jelly fish.
Outside they had some things to do...they had a place you could walk trails and explore. Daddy and his two big girls!
Both of them trying to climb on the frogs back and hang on for picture. It was very humorous to watch them try to do this. :)
Before we left Papaw let them make a penny.
When then headed over to CEC to play some games and have dinner. We stopped at the one in Wilmington. We thought it would be a better one than the usual one we go to in Jacksonville....it was not. We were so disappointed. Half the games didn't work, some didn't even give tickets, this one was very small and add it was crowded, which that didn't surprise me. But we made the most of it. Bree was a little overwhelmed by the crowd....she didn't want to play lots of games but still tried out some.
Katie showing her.... I can't believe another ride\game is broken....face
My cutie little 5 year old....even though most of the games didn't work she kept thanking me and daddy for bringing her to CEC for her birthday. Love her!
I love the excitement in her face...she is beyond proud that she is 5. She has told anyone and everyone that she is now five.
She wanted help blowing out her 5 candle.
My now 7 and 5 year old. <3
She wanted to open her gifts at CEC....so excited to get her puppy that walks back to her when you put him on the ground. She also got a LaLa baby, some money, a gift card to put games, book or music on her leap pad and her #5 figurine.
After all the fun at CEC was over we took the girls over to Toys R Us and let them do a little bday shopping. They both got money and...well...it was burning a hole. :) We had a really fun day. Bree had so much fun...loved each and everything she got.
She is such a sweetheart, so loving and a cuddlier. She just loves to cuddle and hug on you. She always say " I want a huggie and a kiss". She is beyond silly and loves to laugh. I have always said, she has a laugh that comes from her toes up and it will make you smile just hearing it. She is so excited to go to Kindergarten now. We kind of had a melt down on the way home from CEC, she said 'Katie, I get to go to Kindergarten with you on Monday". When I explained to her that it would be after summer...she go so upset. She just knew that once she turned 5 she was going to Kindergarten then next day. So now we are on the count down of when she goes to Kindergarten. :)
Happy Birthday Breanna Faith! I hope you day was full of fun and memories. We love you!
