Happy Birthday, Brennan!

That's right, Brennan is 4 years old today. Pretty crazy. Even crazy to think that when we came to Ohio he was the same age as Aidan is now. So looking at Aidan and then Brennan, it's just amazing to see how much growth has happened in just 2-1/2 years.

Today was a full day of celebrating beginning with opening one present when he got up, then off to his first dentist appointment (I know we know how to party!). It didn't go so well at first, hence no pictures, but he soon warmed up and was a champ about it by the end. Unfortunately, he has a couple small cavities. Talk about feeling like "mom-of-the-Year." Anyone who knows me knows I'm a fiend about brushing my teeth and I'm very thorough about my kids teeth, so I felt pretty bummed for him and me too.

After the dentist, we had lunch, walked around the mall and Brennan got a new Lightening McQueen plate with his $4.00 in birthday money from us. It was on sale for $2.99 - score! After playing at the playground, we came home to get his birthday dinner ready. He picked chocolate chip pancakes for dinner. Couple that with the chocolate cupcakes we had for dessert and everybody was on a sugar high. Presents were opened, games were played, and then bed! Woo!

One happy birthday boy...as he said, "Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Everything chocolate!"
