You like my grill?

Aunt Destiny brought Brandon over some fun things the other night. She is so sweet! One of the items was a new set of diamond studded gold teeth. Wow Brandon, you got a nice grill!

A Wonderful Night

Brandon has a fantastic Grandpa. He recently took the whole family (minus a couple of kids) to see the Velveteen Rabbit for an early Christmas present. The show was at Victoria Gardens and dad took us all out to dinner before hand. Brandon enjoyed the performance and talked about it for the next couple of days! Thank you dad! It was a wonderful evening.Cute Cousins.

Wonderful Becca

Brandon is so lucky to have the most BEAUTIFUL , sweet, smart and selfless 15 year old cousin. Becca turned the big one-five on the 4th of December and we celebrated by enjoying a fun night together at the Old Spaghetti Factory. Thank you Becca for always being an amazing example to Brandon and everyone around you. You are simply the best. Happy Birthday!

One of her gifts...Fred and George's wands (from Harry Potter). Brandon was in love!

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, loves Becca.

Jacob and Brandon

We had the chance to take Brandon's friend Jacob home from school the other day, and boy was that fun! They were having the BEST time taking pictures of themselves and making some funny videos. They crack me up!

Daisy for a day

Brandon was able to join the girl scouts for a special snowman craft. They meet every Wednesday in his classroom, right after school. Brandon and I were still there at that time, so he was lucky enough to participate in the fun.

Homework

Brandon is so good about doing his homework. He is super smart and can read all the directions by himself. Every Wednesday night he reminds me, "Mom! Homework is due tomorrow!"What an awesome kid I have!

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Thursday afternoon the whole family went to Grandpa's for a HUGE meal. Brandon had so much fun with his favorite person on the planet...AUNT JULIE! Here I am being silly! (like usual) ;)
Everyone joined in for some crazy Karaoke! We sang and danced for HOURS!

These two were awesome!




The next day we made our way over to Nana and Papa John's for another amazing meal. Brandon helped with making the fruit cocktail, yams, and the potatoes this year. Way to go Chef Brandon!

He also put the finishing touches on the tables. Just perfect!

We spent some time down at the beach taking pictures. I just love this one of Lily.



That night the cousins had some fun playing "cops" with Aunt Julie. They all looked so serious in their shades.

Except Magoo. ;)
Aunt Julie is such a fun person. All the kids adore her (and all of the adults do too!) Thank you for such a fun weekend Julie! You're the BEST!
