Brooke turned 5 years old on the 15th of February. The past week has been filled with FUN and more FUN! Grandma and Grandpa Turano always come in town for Brooke's birthdays, so it makes it extra exciting, as if turning 5 could get any better for Brooke...
Grandma and Grandpa came in town on Friday night and they were in for a surprise because we had a kitchen full of cooks and, each had their own oppinion about creating Brooke's request for a cake of the new Disney Tangled Rapunzel doll cake and tower cake. We were mixing colors, and cutting frozen cake until 11pm the night before her party. That just finished the first cake. The tower took hours the next morning. We all had fun, but the mess was left for Grandma Turano to clean up, which I felt bad about and was so thankful for her help.Brooke had her party at a gymnastics place this year and I shouldn't be surprised that although it was her first time on a balance beam, she walked back and forth with no problem, just asking to get onto the full size beam. Brooke is very athletic. Kevin takes the credit when it gets mentioned ;) Brooke says the rope and the pit were the most fun thing about her party. On Brooke's actual Birthday we went to dance, chicka fila for Brooke's favorite food, chicken nuggets and then Mommy and Brooke had a special icecream date, since we both love icecream! Grandma and Grandpa Pack hadn't called or seen Brooke all that day, and Brooke began to wonder after talking on the phone with Grandma Turano, Aunt Amy and Isabel and Hyrum sending a present. She begged to Call Grandma Pack. She said to me, " Mommy, if Grandma only gives me one present, that is okay, I wont be sad, because I always get lots of presents from Grandma, and she doesn't have to get me everything. " It was so sweet, I let her call Grandma. She was super excited when Grandma and Grandpa Pack surpised her by coming over with many gifts that night. She went to sleep feeling loved, and being so glad she is finally 5 years old.
