Brook's 12th Family Birthday Party

Brook's 12th birthday was extra special. Just a couple months ago, she had emergency brain surgery. Today she is a healthy, outgoing and beautiful young lady. We didn't just celebrate her birthday, we celebrated the miracle of life. I love you Brookie Cookie!

Cody and Chase... and their magic tricks!

Brook is sitting on her new favorite chair from Grandma Donna while blowing out her singing birthday candle... and ready to get the song over so she can eat her cake pop!

So many fun presents... and Brook was so grateful

We lined the tables with paper and crayons so everyone could write or draw Brooklyn a birthday message. We are so blessed to have so many family members that love and care for us!
