On the day of Brooks' family party this year, he decided he wanted it to be a surprise. Hmmm.
Yes, the party was only hours away
Yes, he realized a true surprise was fairly impossible now that he knew it was occurring.
Yes, he was willing to hang out upstairs the rest of the day so we could prepare to surprise him.
Love this kid!
So, we sent him on his way and began preparing--putting up some hodge podge decorations, finishing up his cake, and waiting for the grandparents to arrive so we could hide and surprise him all together;).
He did start to get a bit antsy after a couple of hours, and began to wonder ... "is it almost time?"
Finally it was time, so we turned off the lights, hid behind sofas and chairs, called down the birthday boy, and yelled a big "surprise!".
Man did he eat it up. What a great reminder that attitude is all about perspective!!
Cute birthday boy!
Cute birthday boy with homemade weapon thingy from big bro. J.
Big bro. J himself.
The awesome cake Mae made for cute birthday boy.
Almost ready to eat the cake.

Birthday both enjoying all the great homemade gifts his sibs prepared for him.
Such a fun (and funny) little guy!
And that's the end of an exiting surprise six!!
No idea why I don't have any pics of the grandparents. I know they were around somewhere. Sorry guys:(.
