Brinley's Golden Birthday

Have you ever heard of a golden birthday? Well, it is when you turn the age of the actual date of your birthday. This year just happened to be Brinley's golden birthday. She turned 4 on May 4th. Well, since you only have one golden birthday we decided to make it something special. Since we have the season passes to Disney we decided that it only made sense to take her to the happiest place on Earth.

Since we got back late the night before her birthday, by the time we got to bed it was already her birthday. Here is our happy 4 year old.

Our little 4 year old with her little gift we got her. She barely put this doll down all day long.

For her birthday we booked breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and friends. Jennifer made her the Ariel birthday hat.

The kids with Eeyore.

Riding the magic carpets of Aladdin.

Brinley getting ready to for her big make over. We got a appointment with the Pirates League to get her pampered and made into a mermaid.

Since it was raining outside, Captain Jack Sparrow couldn't perform his show. Thankfully he came inside to meet all the kids in the Pirate League.

Getting her makeup done.

The whole family with Captain Jack Sparrow.

A little parrot.

Landon wasn't big enough to get a make over because he wasn't 3 years old. They felt sorry for him and gave him a sword and sash.

Brinley meeting one of her favorite princesses, Ariel.

Brinley and mommy riding her favorite ride, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

The kids got picked to participate in Tales with Belle. Brinley got picked to be Mrs. Potts and Landon was picked to be Chip.

The kids enjoying their favorite treat, a couple of Mickey shaped ice creams.

Our little girl is so brave. She started holding her arms up in the air on the roller coasters. I still am glad that she hasn't gotten too big to hold daddy's hand.

The kids getting ready for the Festival of Fantasy Parade.

Brinley was happy for this picture when she heard that Olaf was going to be showing up to visit.

One of our favorite characters, Buzz Lightyear.

Working on shooting their bow and arrows with Merida from Brave.

Landon the little stud muffin is such a ladies man. Ariel told him that she was going to give him a little treasure and then she reached down and grabbed his cheeks and gave him a big kiss on the cheek. For the next hour or so he kept pointing to his cheek and showing us where Ariel kissed him.

The birthday girl. I think she was a little worn out from all the activities that this was all she could muster for a smile.

The kids both really love riding on our shoulders. I think it is helpful because we end up moving faster around all the people in the park when we don't have the strollers.

Brinley meeting Peter Pan for the first time ever. Landon was having a little bit of a meltdown so he didn't get in the picture.

The kids with Rapunzel.

Brinley and princess Cinderella.

What a way to end your birthday than with some fireworks. We have discovered that even though you don't get to see the front of the castle, it is much less crowded at the back of the castle. Brinley and Landon both love seeing the fireworks, but not always hearing the big booming sounds.

I don't think we could have picked a better way to spend our daughter's golden birthday. She had such a great time and can't stop talking about her birthday party at Disney World. She is already saying that she wants to have her birthday there next year. We are not sure how to break the news that next years birthday will be on a much smaller scale. Thanks for reading and God bless!
