Discovery Gateway Fieldtrip

In January, Brielle's preschool headed to the Discovery Gateway for a field trip. Nick had a quick appointment at the U, so he dropped Brielle and I off early to the Gateway to walk around and shop. Once the field trip started Nick was back, so we both got to follow Brielle around and watch her play. There was a ton of kids there, but Brielle still had a great time. Her favorite spot is riding the horse and she tried it several times. She also spent a lot of time putting together a alphabet floor puzzle. Later, we grabbed lunch at the food court and then headed home. It was fun way to spend a dreary January day!

Brielle's Birthday!

Brielle is FOUR! Brielle's birthday was on a Sunday this year and for some reason, I felt very unprepared. Emma had been sick since Christmas and I felt like our house was just barely getting back to normal when we started the birthday celebrations. She took Fruity Pebbles rice krispies as her preschool treat right before her birthday and we went out to eat at Fat Cats for her birthday dinner the next night. On her birthday, we had family over for cake and ice cream (the giant Oreo cake was her pick because she LOVES Oreo's). She stayed in her church dress for her party as well because she loves to be in dresses! Unfortunately we  forgot to charge our camera so we have only a few essential shots but she had a great birthday. She got the white kitty she wanted, a Fancy Nancy purse, books, play dough, Polly Pockets, and a Little Pet Shop mall. She is growing up so fast! I'm grateful she is still physically tiny because helps me think she is still my baby!!
