Happy Birthday Bracken

Happy 2nd Birthday Bracken! We had some of his friends over for a little party and they all had such a great time!

Brian gave Bracken glow-in-the-dark stars for his birthday. I realized Bracken had disappeared a little while after opening his present, and we found him and his friend in the dark bathroom in the tub. When I turned on the light Bracken said, "No light mom! The stars are glowing!" They are all on his ceiling now, and he is so excited to turn the light off each night before he goes to bed so he can see the stars. It makes bedtime even easier!

Happy Birthday Bracken, we love you! Thanks everyone who come to his little party, and just for being such great friends.

Left: Daddy, Bracken and Mommy Right: Kevin, Andrea and Bracken. Bracken adores these two. He loves to go knock on their door when we're outside just to say "hi" or raid their dominoes, and to play with them on Sunday afternoons.

Around his little finger...

After a rough day Brian decided to scrap a late night of studying in exchange for a redbox and ice cream. He thought he'd take Bracken with him to get the movie.

Brian: "Do you want to come with Daddy to get a show?"
Bracken: "YEAH!"
Brian: "And we'll get a treat!"
Bracken: "I love you a hundred billion!"

No wonder Bracken often comes home from grocery trips with Daddy with a donut covered face.
