Happy Birthday to Me

According to Brody and Brenna, I turned 54 on November 10th.  Well, at least for 54 I look young. I actually turned 33 and celebrated with some of my favorite people. That morning Brenna and Brody insisted I unwrap my presents before going to work. I unwrapped the first one and gave them both a kiss. Brenna looks at me and says, "Do you really have to do that for each present?" Apparently one thank you kiss was enough for her.                                                  Scary....  33 candles!

Brody loves his cousin Tyler!

Brenna loves her cousin Abbi!

Okay there IS a lot of smoke. Good thing I had help blowing out the candles.

Which one looks like more trouble?

 The past couple of weeks have been uneventful for the most part.  Brenna is going through a stage.. a bossy and likes to yell stage.  I'm hoping the Love and Logic parenting class that I am attending next week will have ALL of the answers for me. :) 

Brenna is also now beginning to worry about what she wears.  She made a comment about how the Phy. Ed teacher always picks a certain student.  For some reason, Brenna thinks it is because of the clothes the girl wears. Today Brenna told me she had to match so the phy. ed teacher would call on her just like she calls on the other girl.  I just never thought this type of thinking would happen at 4!  I do have to admit I was a little excited that Brenna cared a little more about wearing matching clothes because it is a fight that I usually chose not to pick.
