Broc's Lucky Eleven

December 11th Broc turned 11, how lucky is that? Broc loves his birthday just as much as any kid does. He is so funny though because he doesn't want to be surprised by his presents, he wants to know. For days leading up to his birthday he begs for me to tell him exactly what he is getting or better yet show it to him and then he promises that he will act surprised when I give it to him so no one else will know. (I guess he has patience kind of like his dad..... ha ha). He did pick out his Etnies jacket this year and acted so surprised that Ryan didn't even know he had seen it before (How crazy is that I can't even pick out clothes for my boy-- he is way to particular about how he looks). I don't give in to him on everything, he did have a few surprises and whether he will admit it or not surprises are fun!!!!






It must be because he is the only boy in our house but every birthday this is what his sisters do to him. He is pretty nice about it (maybe it is because they are giving him gifts) but he probably won't be too happy that I put them on the blog for all to see. Broc is not a cake man so for years we have been making brownies w/ powdered sugar. This year watching him blow out the candles was hilarious. Ryan thought they were trick candles, but the funny thing was they weren't and it still took him 3 tries to blow all of them out. This picture is the last time when he finally got them all. (He really put everything he had into it.) I can't believe he is 11 already but I am grateful for the fine young man he is becoming!! We love you Broc!!!!
