After Brady’s appointment, we came back to the house and let her open the two remaining Gabba dolls (she already had Plex and Brobee from the live show) before packing and preparing for our trip to San Antonio for the rest of her birthday through Christmas. Although it was three days before Christmas traffic was still pretty brutal but we managed to make it to my parent’s house by about 3.
As soon as we got unpacked I got Brady’s cake prepped and in the oven so she could open presents while it was still light out. The unwrapping of the presents was a little overwhelming because there was just so many but I think she enjoyed everything she received. Especially the Barbie Jeep decked out with balloons from Nana and Papa! At first she wasn’t sure what to think of it but after a little time, we couldn’t get her out of it! She loves pushing the pedals and making it go (in drive or reverse) but she doesn’t want to steer at the same time yet so she just lets it go on its own til she hits a fence (or some other roadblock – tree, house, patio, etc) and someone has to reposition her or tell her to shift gears. I’m so glad that the weather cooperated that day and was in the low 70s so we were able to spend a couple of hours outside before it got dark. I think this is definitely the start of birthdays being something Brady looks forward to from now on!
