Brooklyn turned 11 a few weeks ago. Her actual birthday fell on a Tuesday this year so we celebrated with her at home. She woke up to lots of balloons and birthday decor. Daddy made her blueberry muffins and then she headed down the hall to school.
She is done with distance learning around 11:15 so I put together a fun snack/lunch platter with a few of her favorite things. She loves blackberries so I grabbed these along with a pack of sparkling watermelon while I was at Trader Joe's. I also found some bacon jalapeño cheddar which is now a new favorite in our house.
She was dying to dig into her gifts so after we ate we told her she could open them.
Brooklyn is always great entertainment for us
By far my favorite gift opener of all time. She truly gets excited over every gift, she's so sweet!
She loves taking quizzes to learn more about herself so this should keep her busy for awhile
Her own skateboard! No more sharing with Kayla.
Everyday this kid begs me for her own chai latte so since it was her birthday I made her her own. It was gone in no time!
For dinner she wanted pizza but not just any kind of pizza. I had made a peach and cheese along with a pesto potato burrata pizza over the Summer and the girls loved them so that's exactly what she requested for her special dinner.
Dessert was brownie ice cream sundaes
I can't believe she's now 11!!!
Throughout the week she received a few more gifts from family.
Then on Saturday she had a couple of her good friends over to celebrate with.
She was extremely excited for this day. She has been missing being at school and just around her friends in general a lot so this day was perfect for her. All seven of these girls played hide and seek, foosball, video games and jumped on the trampoline for hours.
It was the perfect day for our big 11 year old!
