Ten years ago, Mama and Daddy were on an Alaskan cruise...trying to get a dream trip in before Grand Baby #3 was to arrive over seven weeks later. Little did they know that Caroline Brooke Garrett would insist on coming into this world 7 1/2 weeks early. So, when they arrived in Charlotte on Tuesday, September 8th from their cruise, little Brookie was already stealing hearts with those great big blue eyes.
I absolutely cannot believe that Brooke will be ten next week...September 4th to be exact. We celebrated with a really cool party today at the Catawba Science Center. Science magic tricks, museums, aquarium, and the Swamp Thing Exhibit. Fun, fun, fun with a crew of eleven kids.

Isn't this beautiful? Demetria, cake lady of the century created this, after she received Brooke's detailed picture in the mail about what her cake was to be.....and inside....all chocolate - cake, filling, and icing. YUMMY!
Magic science experiments and making puddy were really cool.....
but so was spinning in the gravity chair and touching the baby sharks and stingrays.
Check out the loot! Woohoo!
Cuzzin' Lovin'.
Recycling ribbons and tissue paper.....yep, we're going green!
Happy Birthday, Brookie! We love you. XOXOXOXOXO

Happy Birthday Brooke - Looks like they had a great time! The science exp. is a cool touch. I had to check to see pictures because I knew if there were no pictures of the cake... it didn't make it in one piece. And you a way too nice to tell me it didn't make it! Yeah... peace of mind! Have a great week!
A great party with wonderful children! I remember that a week after last year's party Brookie already had this one planned.
I also remember that ten years ago Pappy and I were enjoying our trip that you and Greg and given us. When we got home we were very pleasantly surprised!!!!!!!!All of you had kept the secret eventhough we had called home several times and everybody everywhere knew about the baby before we did. What a pleasant life-long memory. One for the record books. And what a precious big, blue-eyed baby who looked just like Pappy then as well as now (with the exception of her eye color).
Love you,
Nana
