Brandon's Birthday(s)


Guess who turned 12?
Best quote from Brandon: 'I'm finally a teenager.'  You should have seen his face when I explained to him that you actually have to have the word 'teen' in your number to be a teenager.


Brandon is growing up. He still would choose to spend time in front of the TV or computer over just about anything. His mind is quick and he remembers everything. He loves to play sports and this fall moved up a level in soccer - which we all are enjoying. He loves to tease, taunt, scare and generally bother his sisters, but he also is the first one to protect them and worry about them. He loves to make people laugh. He gets great pleasure out of making up a joke that is actually funny. He has silly faces and antics. 


We were in MN on Brandon's birthday so we had Snickers Ice cream bars for his birthday treat at Grandpa and Grandma's house. Once we got home we had birthday 24 hours. When its December, I declare it my birthday month. Brandon really has almost a whole birthday month and we haven't even done his special event yet.  One night we had the scavenger hunt for presents and baked potatoes for supper followed by a special chocolate cake warmed up with ice cream. The next morning we had donuts for breakfast and streamers were hung on his door. In a few weeks, we hope to take him and a few friends to an indoor club called 3 Mile Project. Its a hangout with all kinds of games and things. Parents are not allowed in. It is supervised by a group of volunteers and Brandon LOVES it. 
Welcome to almost team little man. We love you and can't wait to see what the next years bring.
