Brooklyn's 1/2 birthday

We celebrated Brooklyn's half birthday last Friday.  We started the day at Panera while we were waiting on Derek to get his LASIK.

 We enjoyed a day together as a family and made a trip to our fave bakery, Sugar Mama's for cupcakes.

It was a very  exciting day for Derek too.  He has been wearing glasses for 25 years!!  I can't imagine!  Now, he can see and see well! It is so exciting!  He is thrilled and I am so happy for him! No more glasses or contacts.

Brooklyn is a silly, goofy girl.  She makes us laugh.  She gives great hugs.  She loves to dressup and pretend she is a princess.  She also loves playing with her stuffed animals and babies.  Here are some of brooklyn's favorites at 4 1/2:
