An Exciting Day!

Sunday, June 15th was an exciting day for our family. This year Brandon's birthday fell on Father's Day, so my 2 boys had to "share" the day!

When Brandon woke up he had to walk through the streamers and balloons to get out of his door! This has become kind of a tradition at our house. After the birthday kid goes to bed the night before his/her birthday, Mommy has to decorate the house in some way for when they wake up on their birthday morning.

We had to quickly open gifts since Daddy had to leave for church right away. I told Brandon and Todd that they would have to share a gift this year since they were sharing their day. Then I surprised them both with a Nintendo Wii. I don't think they minded at all to share!

Then another surprise for Daddy... Guitar Hero for the Wii! There were 2 very happy boys in the house this morning!

Since Brandon turned 8, he no longer has to ride in a booster seat in the car. So, he rode to church just like a grown up!

After church, Brandon decided McDonald's would be a good place to eat his birthday meal.

Then we came home and Todd got the Wii all set up and they tried it out!

Playing some Wii Golf!

After Bekah's nap, I took them to see the Chronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian. It seemed to be something that Todd and Brandon both wanted to see, so it was a nice treat for both of them on their special day.

Todd got to pick where to have dinner, and he opted for Outback Steakhouse! I think his favorite thing there is the Bloomin' Onion appetizer.

Todd is wearing his gift from the kids...a World's Greatest Dad shirt! I am thankful that he is a great Dad for our kids!
