Brooklyn's 4th birthday

For Brooklyn's birthday, my mom and mother-in-law bought her an American Girl Doll. We took her to the American Girl Doll store at Tyson's Corner the Saturday before her birthday and Brooklyn picked Josefina.

She also picked out this Elsa nightgown from the Disney Store.

On the morning of her birthday, she requested donuts for breakfast. 

I decided to have her friend party on her actual birthday. Brooklyn wanted to have a fairy birthday party. 

She invited five friends: Avonlea, Sidney, Charlotte, Kate and Sienna. I gave all the girls fairy wings when they arrived. Then we played our first game. We pretended an evil witch stole the fairy gems and hid them. We had to find them so they could make their magic fairy wands. 

I painted wooden wands with sparkly paint before the party and let the girls decorate with gems, stickers, ribbons and buttons. 

For lunch we had butterfly sandwiches (PB&J), flower sandwiches (cheese), twigs (pretzel rods), berries, fairy bread (bread with butter and sprinkles) and mini toadstool pizzas. 

After lunch we played freeze dance, which is one of Brooklyn's favorite games. 

And last we had cupcakes and presents. 

Brooklyn got a Tinkerbell cup, a Tinkerbell with a closet full of changeable outfits, a Frozen Elsa scepter, a Frozen sled with a mini Anna doll, a Barbie Nutcracker doll, and a wooden magnet fairy with changeable outfit pieces. She was very excited for all the presents and started playing with the new toys with her friends. 

I always let the girls pick what they want to eat for dinner on their birthday. And it wasn't a huge surprise that Brooklyn picked cereal. She is so funny. After dinner we had a google + party with out of town family. Brooklyn opened a few presents that my parents sent her and that Jason and I got her. 

Brooklyn had a fun filled birthday. Hopefully it was everything the 4 year old pretend fairy dreamed it would be.
