Birthday pics and recap

We had such a fun time at Brandon’s birthday party last night! We had a BBQ at Grandma Wendy’s house that was delicious–grilled and marinated turkey, grilled teriyaki salmon kebobs, augratin potatoes, a fruit platter, salad, and of course cake and ice cream. Yummy stuff. Grandma had decorated the house with all sorts of Cars paraphernalia which Brandon just loved. We played outside a little bit because it was pretty warm, had the huge bubble machine going, and just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves. We missed those who couldn’t be there. Brandon got TONS of fun presents for his birthday, everyone was so generous. Now we just need a toyroom built onto our house today!! No, really.

Here are a whole bunch of pictures from the party. I’ll show more of them when I do a scrapbook page of it all later.

Being silly

Our family: notice how loopy Annie looks–it was WAY past her bedtime!!

It was a fun (but exhausting!) night for us all. Brandon had fun playing with his new things and Annie spent the whole time mooching food off of everyone’s plates. I think she ate about 100 grapes!

Brandon woke up this morning and the first thing he asked me was “Am I still four?” I told him yes and then he asked “Can I have some birthday cake for breakfast?” Um, his school teachers probably wouldn’t have appreciated the sugar rush THAT would cause, so he waited until this afternoon and had some cake after lunch. Good times.
