Bridgette woke up on her birthday to a fun box of gifts from Grammy Deb and G-Daddy. Rooke and Gretchen got in on the action too with some new shirts and Gretchen's favorite gift of the morning - matching dresses for the girls!!
Bridgette and I took the big kids to school, then walked to a local children's center where she loves to play.
While Rooke and Gretchen had their swimming lessons that afternoon, Bridgette and I enjoyed the sunshine on her special day.
She still doesn't like to put her hands down when trying to get up after a fall!
Daddy came home and we gave Bridgette her new balance bike! I expect she'll be whizzing around our loop by summer.
We had "B" foods for dinner: Bacon, Bread, Baked Eggs, and Beet smoothies. Then it was time for cake! Rooke and Gretchen helped me decide that, since Bridgette likes singing Twinkle, Twinkle, her cake should be in the shape of a star. It was great to celebrate our fun girl with some fun cake!
The day after Bridgette's birthday, I'd planned to take the girls for their first official hair cut. That's right, my four-year-old is just now getting her first haircut at the same time as her younger sister. We stopped at the corner store for our treat and then walked to the beauty shop. Gretchen was super excited!
My rookie mistake on this first salon trip was to give Bridgette her lolly before she sat in the chair. We watched Gretchen be a rock star with her haircut, but then Bridgette was absolutely NOT going to take her turn. Turns out with just one day of experience, she's pretty good at being two. We headed home for another Mommy-one-inch-trim and will try for a proper cut on another day. In the meantime, Gretchen's hair looks nice and we'll do a finished photo later when Little Sister is not distracting mom from the camera.
Kaye K and Big Daddy joined us on Saturday for some more birthday fun . . .
I love how opening presents is always a sibling affair.
Along with some much needed shoes and socks, Kaye K and Big Daddy gave Bridgette this flashy flamenco dress from Spain!
And then, being the global girl that she is, Bridgette grabbed some flags and asked Kaye K to march with her. Random? Yes. Fun to watch? Totally.

Such a great post . . . so many sweet pics of Miss B . . . love the ones with all 3 kiddos . . . it's hard to pick a favorite but it would have to be the one of them taken in the front yard.
The Flamenco dress! LOVE it (and this post, and the cute kiddos in this post)! Adorable.
