Brooklyn's 3rd Birthdays

At Goofy's kitchen on the half hour, all the characters gather the kids for an interactive music and dance break.  Brooklyn was a little shy but loved every second. Brooklyn dined on Mickey shaped Belgium waffles, all food that had sprinkles on it, chocolate milk, fruit, eggs, pancakes, and everything from the longest dessert table in the world.

Brooklyn could sniff out chocolate a mile away.  I proudly passed that gene on, sorry kids.

After our meal we let Brooklyn pick out anything she wanted from the giant Disney Emporium.  I think she got a little overwhelmed by the thought.  My kids have always liked hats.  What did she end up picking?  A matching Minnie and Mickey doll wedding set that plays the wedding march.  Such a cute story for a wedding video a gazillion years from now.

Here Brooklyn wasn't shy at all.  She danced in the aisles, and spun on the floor, she seemed to like an audience but not a crowd.

twirling her heart out.

A brunch conversation with Dale at our table.  It all about the magic.

Dylan fell in love with Mulan.  She was so sweet and nice but Brooklyn would have nothing to do with her.

For Brooklyn's pr-birthday festivities we decided to celebrate Brooklyn by taking her to a Disney character breakfast at the Disneyland hotel.  She insisted on being Minnie Mouse (complete with matching handbag).  Grandma and Grandpa provided the outfit and the babysitting for Logan (huge thanks) so that the four of us could go and have a very special day.
