Brielle's 11th Birthday

Brielle had a Friday birthday that was spent at school doing state testing.  Luckily she likes school and her teacher gives them sunflower seeds whenever they have tests which Brielle loves.
 She also said all the kids in the cafeteria spontaneously sang happy birthday to her during lunch.  It started with a couple kids at her table and grew to the surrounding tables.  I would have thought she'd be embarrassed by all the attention, but she came home laughing.
Birthday requests
Breakfast: Crepes (had a hard time choosing between them or her other favorite, beignets)
Lunch: It was Pizza day at school, so she chose school lunch.
Dinner: Lasagna and Caesar Salad (which we did for Sunday dinner with the family)
Dessert: Peanut Butter Brownies-Decorated as a Quidditch Field from Harry Potter
That evening we had dinner at the park with all of the Finlay cousins in town.  We ended up picking up Cafe Rio (one of her favorite places) and picnicking at the park. 
She loved sharing the celebration with the other May birthdays (the trio all turning 4 this year) and being able to have so many extended family in town.
It was quite a pile of presents in our backyard with 4 birthday kids.
