11-17-08=Brandon's Appreciation Day!

today i surprised bran with his appreciation day!
i had to wake up at 3:45am just to make him breakfast. he woke up and was like....breakfast? i never get up with him. he loved having an actually meal instead of a drink for breakfast though! I forgot to take a picture of breakfast....it was a little early. But I made him blueberry pancakes with eggs and milk....mmmm so good! while he was eating i explained that it was his day; his appreciation day. he just gave me a weird look and kept eating. so then i said, well I'm headed to walmart to get groceries, what do you want for you special dinner? again weird look. (I think this "your day" thing threw him off). Plus 4am isn't so fun.
this is what bran came home to today! i heard the truck pull up and so I put the dogs in their room so he could enjoy without the dogs jumping all over him. he walks in the door with a huge grin on his face and follows the arrows!!!





then he found his "appreciation letters" and his yummy cookie heart! He LOVES this double chocolate recipe.




He was so excited to read his letters. I was able to get 24 letters!!! Thank you everyone that helped out! I couldn't have done this with out all of you!
He LOVED his letters!

On to dinner. He wanted sun ripened french bread and tortellini with alfredo sauce. So that's what he got!


After dinner he went straight to the stupid Xbox. Oh well...at least he said thank you! haha
Thanks again for your help everyone!
