Brooklyn's Favorite Gift

Yesterday Brooklyn was eating breakfast in bed...for her birthday and my dad said, "I'm really excited to give you your surprise tonight." (He of course was meaning the state quarter collection that he's been working on for several years.) She said, "Oh, I hope it's a work badge."

Being the good Papa that he is, he went right to work and made Brooklyn her very own "work badge." She loved it.


She especially liked pulling on the retrackable cord. She was so proud wearing it.

I do believe it beat out the quarter collection, dress-up clothes, real clothes, and cheerleading outfit. She "can't wait to wear it to Papa and Mimi's work" the next time she goes! :)
