Happy Birthday Brandon!

Brandon is now NINE years old! He is such a sweet boy, always kind to the younger kids and so willing to share. His smile is contagious and frequent! Brandon only recently began piano lessons but he's doing so well! I have never even had to ask him to practice, he just does it on his own. Brandon has also developed an interest in soccer. He plays every recess (when its not raining) and is excited to be on a team.

For his birthday, he wanted to have a Phineas and Ferb party. It was a blast! First they played “Busted!” in which they had balloons tied to each leg. They attempted to pop other kids’ balloons while keeping their own safe. So much fun! They also had a treasure hunt where they found Frankenstein’s brain (this actually makes sense if you’ve ever seen the Phineas and Ferb TV show!)
Then they split into groups and made “Inator” inventions, including a hypnotizinator, a ticklinator and a squashinator.
We then played a quick game of “Where’s Perry?” and enjoyed a dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and jello jigglers, followed by a Perry the Platypus cake and an Ice cream sundae-inator. Everyone had a great time and we are so glad to have Brandon be a part of our family!!! Happy Birthday Brandon!!!
