St. Patricks Day and Disney on Ice

Who gets to live in a place with a St. Patricks day parade? Apparently I did most of my life but never knew. My father in law, who is the down town mail man says that SLC has one every year. I had no idea!
Well, in St Louis it's a pretty big deal, so we decided to brave the crowds and see what it was all about.


It was pretty good. I think a one timer for us, but always good to try something new.

For the girls' birthday we got them Disney on Ice tickets. This time they were featuring Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, and Tangled.

Here's my little Rapunzel and Cinderella. They were so excited!

It was so cute! I haven't been to Disney on Ice in such a long time, but they really put on a great show. We lucked out and had awesome seats and the girls were glued the entire 2 hours.

Brinley's 4th Birthday!

My oldest has now become 4 years old! I can't believe it. I always say that every year, but it just blows my mind how fast time flies.
We had planned on having a little birthday party for her at the park by our house, since there are about 25 kids that live by us, and I needed a place to put everyone. I was so excited because the weather said that is was going to be 70 degrees that day. Well, it was indeed 70 degrees but also extremely windy, so luckily I was able to have it our club house last minute. All I can say is throwing a party for 40 people is a lot of work!
Brinley had told me she wanted a Mickey Mouse party (gotta love her)! So I went online and found these cute Mickey Mouse cupcakes, made with Oreo cookies.

The kids had fun and that's all that matters!

Here they are playing a dancing game with streamers.



The next day we had our own little quiet family party. We made homemade pizza.
Ate more cupcakes.
And of course opened presents! Here she is with her favorites! Last year my Mom and Dad gave her Lady, while we were at Disney World. So this year they decided to give her the Tramp. She was so excited! As soon as she opened it, she ran upstairs, grabbed Lady and said "Oh Lady your husband is here!" It was pretty cute. Then Greg and I gave her a Rapunzel barbie (her first barbie)! We also got her and Julianne tickets to Disney on Ice with Rapunzel, but it's a surprise, so I'll post pics after we go next week.

Happy Birthday to our crazy, happy, funny, silly, sweet, friendly Brinley. We love you!
