This year Brennan's birthday and our wedding anniversary both fell on Thanksgiving. That's a lot to be grateful for! Now you see why we celebrated our anniversary a little early. Brennan requested a Minecraft cake.
We were especially grateful that Brennan woke up healthy on his birthday. He had a fever and felt miserable the day before. I made his cake that day, and he loved it so much he said it made him happy every time he looked at it.
We ate our Thanksgiving dinner at Kristen's house at lunchtime so my dad could be there before heading off to work. Then we had everyone over to our house for presents and desserts later that afternoon.
One of Brennan's presents was an Airzooka. It blows big puffs of air really far. He was able to blow out his candles from the opposite side of the room! That was a fun twist. Happy 7th birthday, Brennan! I'll close with a list of 7 reasons I'm thankful for Brennan:
1. He's creative. He's always making something, and he has a great imagination.
2. He's funny - he likes to make up jokes, and his execution is perfect.
3. He's cute! Seriously cute.
4. He is friends with everyone he meets. Everyone loves Brennan.
5. He's sweet. He's constantly leaving us pictures and notes on our pillows, telling us how much he loves us. Every night in his prayers, he says, "Thank you I have a really, really, really, really, really good mom. Thank you I have a really, really, really, really, really good dad."
6. He's patient. He has some pretty tough physical challenges (food allergies, asthma and ADD), but he has accepted it very well.
7. He is confident. He gets teased for his small size at school, and he has some great comebacks. He is the epitome of tiny but mighty! What a great anniversary present.
