Brian's Birthday

Brian had a birthday after we got back from Disneyland!! On Sat. morning his siblings took him to breakfast. Sunday we invited his mom and dad over and had dinner and brownies and ice cream... Monday, his REAL birthday we went as a family to Tepanyaki for some Japanese food.
After Mav stopped crying when the dude started up the grill it was smooth sailing
Slater loved every bite!

mav feasted on a huge bowl of fried rice

Slater helped daddy blow out his birthday candle. Mouth full of food and all.

We ALL totally enjoyed our meal. Fantastic food. Great entertainment. And the BEST company in the whole world.

After dinner we headed to the dollar theater to watch TANGLED.

The boys sat on Bri's lap the entire time once the show started. Silly boys! they were a bit afraid of Mother Gothel. but now we own it and they love it.

It was a great day!

I had asked his family to share their thoughts about him. They did it, and with teary eyes he read them all. It was perfect. Thanks everyone for doing that for him!
