When we got up in the morning in the hotel, we had breakfast and went to swim. Brandon did not look very good at that point, like wiped out and tired. You can always see it in his eyes if he does not feel good. So, he got cold and just asked to go home. (part of it, I am sure what his anticipation to open his presents). That is what we came home to: (Pop and Nan's work)
InsideThey did a good job, did not they?
Brandon opened his presents and was getting restless for more presents to open. I started feeling like I would get sick. I was worried for the kids to see it. However, my smart belly waited until Nan called and asked if Brandon would like to come to her house to be a present opener and as soon as kids left, my belly told me it was time. I got so sick, sick as a dog. It was nasty. I could only lay on the couch.
Kids ended up having Brandon's party at Nan's because noone wanted to be around me being sick.(Do not blame them) :) I just felt terrible I could not be at my own child's birthday.
Love this picture of Brandon.
Wii U game he really wanted. At some point it was sold out everywhere but Pop was lucky enough to find it.Kyra looks super cute here :)
Cake Brandon wanted (from Star Wars)
Not a very small set.
Me and Brandon worked as a team on this one the next day when he stayed home from school being sick.Another one Brandon built with little help from me.
At some point, he said: "Mom, can you build this step the following steps while I go the bathroon?" which I do. When he comes back, he said: "Mom, can I please have my job back?" Cracked me up! :)
When we were building, Kyra was out at school, house is quiet and here Brandon said: "Mom, I really like building Legos with you." He is 8 now. I thought all the mushy words and feelings have gone. I am so thankful they are not. At the end of the day when we talked about Highs and Lows he said he did not have any Lows but his High was building Legos with me. I love him to pieces! :)
Note from Kyra to her beloved brother :)
