My sweetie Brielle just turned FOUR!

Wow, yesterday was Brielle's 4th birthday. She is getting so grown up! We brought her home when she was just turning 7 months old.

She is amazing! For 6 months now she has been skipping, putting ponytails in her own hair, and blowing big bubbles with bubble gum. She loves dress-up, in fact when we watch a movie she often finds things around the house (clothing and props) to re-enact everything. She is very precocious and talks very well. She helps her dad at his dentist office by handing him each instrument when he needs it, wearing safety goggles and gloves, of course!

She is such a complete and joyful addition to our family! I couldn't have dreamed up a more amazing child. She surprises us every day, and is so happy, outgoing, and sweet. Also very affectionate.

I'm attaching a few pics from yesterday:

I can't believe she is four years old already!

She just keeps getting more beautiful.

Happy Birthday Brielle!

She is just beautiful!

Happy Birthday sweet Brielle. You are a little beauty. I can't believe how quickly our little girls grow up. My Maci will turn 4 on Friday.
