Brandon is a Decade

B1 is 10(!) 2 whole hands(!!) as of Monday, April 23, 2012.

Brandon turning double digits was so difficult for me, it's hard to think that he's been with us for a decade. I asked him Monday morning, on our way to pick up donuts and milk for his class, if he felt older and he said yes. I teared up. I ask him that question yearly and the answer had always been no.
Brandon is such a smart, funny, witty, loving, giving, handsome boy and his zest for learning amazes me. He absolutely loves baseball, and not just playing the sport. He reads up on history of the game and loves to offer facts and other interesting tidbits of info. We are so proud of him and love him so so much.

He had several days of celebrating the big 1-0! We met Mimi and Pappy in Yukon for park fun and ice cream on Saturday

.

and went to Nana and Grandad's Sunday.
Monday morning, after a requested breakfast by the birthday boy of French Toast, he opened a few gifts of clothes, just in case he wanted to wear any of his new threads.

a new Red Sox shirt. I had a pretty good feeling he'd want to wear it.

He had baseball that night so he opened the rest of his gifts after school...

reading cards from his bros and sis!

a new Wii game he asked for.

sporting his new Red Sox shades!

We didn't get to go out for BBQ (his request) until the next night.
