three.....

Brenna had her 3rd birthday on January 10th. We had two parties for her, one with my family and the other with Ross' family. We're hoping next year our basement will be done so we can just have one party :) I was always asking Brenna what she wanted for her birthday, what she wanted to do, who should be there....and it always came back to red. " I want a red birthday, with a red cake, and Hallie/Colie."

Done.

Here's her first party at my mom's on Sunday before her birthday....

My sister in law, Lorena, made this cake. I thought it was perfect!

Brenna's favorite game is Candyland, thanks to Hallie and Colie.

The second party at the Wentworth's. This one was a bit harder. Brenna was not feeling well (we're potty training and she's constipated), so she layed around most of the night. Poor kid. But things are starting to look better!

watching a movie after all the festivities....

Some of B's favorite things:

Favorite color: red.....still.

Favorite food: French snow (french toast with powdered sugar) and chocolate milk.

Favorite thing to do: play games (Hungry Hippos, Candyland, PlayDoh.)

Favorite primary song: Once there was a Snowman

Favorite thing to say: "Come on, I'll show ya"

It's been so fun watching this little girl grow up to be a big girl. It has definitely been the hardest thing we've ever done, but also so rewarding. It's amazing how much you can love someone.
I read this verse today while reading scriptures in 2 Nephi ch 33 vs 3. Nephi is talking about his people, but when I read it, I thought "this is how I feel about Brenna."

".....For I pray continually for them by day, and mine eyes water my pillow by night, because of them; and I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that he will hear my cry."

So true. I don't think I've ever prayed so hard until I had Brenna. I just want the BEST for her.

We love you Brenna! Happy Birthday!
