Birthdays

So, like we do on every Fall General Conference, our whole family gets together, has breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and celebrates Brody's birthday. I know what you are thinking ... my poor Mom. Well, this will be the last year that it is such a huge event, so that should make you feel a little better.

Anyway, here's Brody, now 5 years old ... as you can tell. Notice Marley on the side sneaking off with one of Brody's presents.

He was a little excited to get Lego Batman for the Wii. He couldn't believe he got transformers. I can't understand why he's surprised, though. You typically get what you wish for when you start asking for transformers 6 months prior to your b-day.

So the following Saturday we had a combined birthday party for Dannon and Brody. Because Brody is five he got to invite 5 friends. Here they are lining up for a silly relay race.

The cupcakes ... they aren't displayed all that cute because it was so windy they would have gotten so dried out. As it was the candles wouldn't even stay lit. Oh well, the kids still enjoyed them.

Now this is the saddest part about the whole week of birthdays. So Dannon turned three. This is the only picture we got of him out of all the birthday activities. After the party at the park we went home and had a family birthday party just for Dannon. However, we have no pictures to prove it, because I broke the camera a few weeks ago. I know I shouldn't feel so guilty that I didn't get any pictures of it, but I think every mother understands my guilt. I promise you, though, that despite not having pictures, he is loved and wasn't neglected on his birthday.
