Brandon's 7th birthday

Brandon was lucky enough to have 2 parties this year. On his actual birthday (Saturday), we were spending the day with the Hawthorne's at the beach, so Aunt Jodi got some cupcakes and we let him open a few presents (mostly ones that he could use at his friend party on Monday).

On Monday, Brandon had party #2 and invited his friends Cody, Blake, & Zach to swim for a while. Brandon wanted his cake to show him and his friends in the pool. He drew a picture to show me how it should look and I did my best to make an accurate representation!

The extended crowd - siblings, friends, and siblings of friends!

A gift from Kaylee & Taylor with lots of inspirational messages...
