Brooklyn's 3rd Birthday is coming up- and she knows it. But little does she know WHAT DAY IT IS TODAY or how many days away her birthday is. That's why on Brooklyn's actual birthday- I'll see if I can get Daddy to take her to get her pictures taken and while they're gone, Matthew and I will be decorating and welcoming guests. Then, when the birthday girl is about to come home- we'll all hide and as soon as Brooklyn and Daddy come through the door we'll jump and shout "SURPRISE!"
Now why on earth would we try to surprise a 3 year old for her birthday party? Read on and I'll tell you why. . . :o)
Matthew has been practicing and practicing a 'surprise party' that he wants to give his little sister. Every night, he mixes a bowl of toys together and calls it 'cake'. He has cubes with toys inside that he call 'Presents' and he has pillows all around that he calls 'balloons' and he'll grab at LEAST one person to join in his imagination as we duck behind furniture and call out Brooklyn's name. As soon as she walks into the room - Matthew quietly whispers "1, 2, 3" and then we jump up and yell "Surprise!" But that's not it! He makes her 'open' the presents and blow out the candles. Once we think it's all done- he won't let us leave until he's had a chance to serve the cake! He'll pretend to cut the birthday cake with a toy sword and scoops it up on toy plates and hands each one to everyone in the house. Of course, by now- we're all tired of this game but the 1st few times- it was super cute. It's even CUTER to know that he thought up this idea all by himself- (okay, maybe Nick Jr.helped him. lol)
That's why, I've decided- I'm going to get Matthew's help with his sisters ACTUAL Birthday party. :o)
