Happy Birthday Brody!!

Yes, I know I am quite late with this post - oh well!! Last Sat. we had Brody's birthday party which is why the deadline for the playground!! The few kids - and adults - had to have something to play on. We knew this was going to be a busy day - parade, nap, party, and SEC game - how would we get it all in. The party started at 3:30 in order to give the kids time to play outside before it got dark - but of course this was only 30 minutes before the game. I decided it was a birthday/Gator party. Since Brody was born in 2006 when the Gators won their last SEC title I knew he was always going to be a Gator baby and his party would usually fall on the same day. Oh well - it could be worse. Here's the whole family all decked out in our Gator attire.

Brody and the couple of other kids had a blast on the playground. It was a huge success. No Major accidents which was great. The timing worked out great that presents were opened during halftime but he only had 15 minutes for presents and cake!! He is really getting into opening the presents - one small piece at a time. He got lots of great gifts that he is already enjoying playing with. The theme of his party was Thomas the Train - he is in love with Choo Choo trains which is pretty neat since both Pop Pop and Papa worked at CSX. Brody had been waiting a long time for his choo choo train cake. I was very excited about it as well. We ordered it from Sheila's Cake and Catering on the Westside. We use them for all our cakes at work and they are wonderful. Here's a picture of his cake. He loved it.
