So, the day after Brek's actual birthday, we decided to hold a little party for him; it included all of the things that he loves: balloons, water, suckers, and family.
 |
| Here he is showing off his age. :) |

We have a squirt bottle that we use for Brek's hair. He loves playing with it, and loves when we squirt him or give him a drink with it. So we thought it would be fun to have them at the party. Each guest got one to take home, and we used them for games during the party.
 |
| Joe had fun. |

| Balloon Races using the squirt bottles |
 |
| A summer water party wouldn't be complete with out a water balloon fight. |
 |
| Brek loved being in the middle of the action |
 |
| We had the kiddie pool out, which is where D'Anna and Brek spent a lot of their time |
 |
| Aunt Janelle brought their "car wash" for us to play in. |
Here are just a bunch of pictures from the party, mostly of Brek playing in the water. I'll add the cake pictures last.

| Brek's Red Velvet Birthday Cake. He got that whole center part |
 |
| Here comes the cake. He looks suspicious. |
 |
| He tried to eat the candle |
 |
| First taste |
 |
| I think he likes it. Love that smile! |
 |
| I think he's liking all the attention |
 |
| It squishes well |
 |
| Here Ryan, try some. It's yummy! |
 |
| Sorry; there are lots of pictures. I just love all his different faces and expressions. |
 |
| And this one just makes me laugh. |
 |
| Wonder if it tastes different with a fork? |
 |
| That's what I'm talking about! |
 |
| Attack! |
 |
| Somebody is looking tired. And messy. |
 |
| All done eating cake and ready to get washed off. |
 |
| Thank goodness we had a "car wash" to put him through! |
 |
| He looks like one happy birthday boy! |
We felt it was a fun and successful birthday party. We're glad Brek's friends (our family) could come and play and join in all the things he loves most.
