Months ago Darren mentioned that he'd like a rootbeer tasting party, so I found 8 different kinds/brands of rootbeer and poured them into shot glasses. All the party goers guessed which kind was which and which one they liked the best.
Darren's birth mom, Jeanette, came to celebrate with us. Valene, Darren, and Jeanette toasting to another great year to come!
I wasn't about to attempt a over-sized rootbeer float cake, so I e-mailed different rootbeer slogans to the local bakery and they copied them onto edible paper. It turned out fun....Happy 29th buddy!
Where ever there are candles to be blown, Breanne comes running with her cheeks full of air. Make a wish Daddy!
The guitar Santa brought him over a year ago still sits in his closet covered with a warm, comforting layer of dust. But the desire to strum the guitar still lives, so I bought him Guitar Hero (complete with two guitars for competition mode) for his birthday. We stay up 'til mid-night strumming away like Aerosmith.
Breanne was so much fun this year! As you can tell she was very excited about her Tootsie Rolls from the Easter Bunny.
Darren talked me into getting a real bunny for Breanne. He didn't have to beg too hard. When we found 'Bell' we all fell in love with her. Breanne was scared at first, but now she always wants to play with her.

Breanne is finally getting the idea of the 'greed fest' each holiday season! She loves to open presents and eat all the fun traditional treats.
