Brielle celebrated her birthday not just on the day of, but all weekend. She really wanted to have a sleepover at Grandma and Papa Finlay's house, so invited her cousin Elise for a girl's night. They were treated like royalty. They went swimming, had dinner, went out for frozen yogurt and went to the dollar store to pick out their favorite item. She then had chocolate chip pancakes, made by Papa for her birthday breakfast.
Saturday night (Brielle's actual birthday) we went to see the BYU Mens' volleyball team play in the finals. We've been to a few games this season and Ellie has really gotten in to them. She was excited for the game.

Sunday we celebrated with a family birthday dinner. She was very specific with her menu request. Pita Chips and Hummus for appetizer. Lasagna, Caesar Salad, Breadsticks and Fruit (pineapple, raspberries and blackberries) for dinner. Chocolate cake with homemade ice cream for dessert. With contributions for extended family members we pulled it all together.
Brielle decided she wanted a candyland cake this year. Because it was going to be so covered with candy, I made a pan of rice crispy treats to decorate and then the requested chocolate cake (a texas sheet cake) to eat.
Brielle was very thankful for all the cards and gifts. She took time to read each one. Thank you to everyone for making her feel so special!
