Bronsen's Birthday

Bronsen is 5!!!!! I can't believe how the time has just past at lightening speed.  It seems like I was just rocking him to sleep while singing, Here Comes Santa Claus (his favorite lullaby). This year I decided that he was going to have a monster truck cake.  It is my job to come up with the ideas for things and Ben's job to execute it.  So it was with this cake.  Ben carved it and frosted it according to B's color choices.  A true 'Cake Boss'.  Ben is so particular with things that cake decorating just fits.  But I thought it turned out great!!
But like his daddy Bronsen is meticulous and likes to do things well.  He is in school and he is excited to go to school with Kalli next year.  He loves to play Lego Indiana Jones and he still loves to cook. His grown up tastes include Chinese egg rolls, french onion soup and pastrami/Havarti sandwiches. And trying to get him to eat PB and J or mac and cheese is impossible!  Go figure? He wants to be a Ninja-Chef-Spy when he grows up and he can draw like a pro. His attention to detail always amazes me and he is the best big brother.  He always wants to help and he keeps Finn safe and germ free:) (he likes to wipe of baby toys and baby's hands) Brosnen finally got a bike this year and likes to ride it. He loves hanging out with his best buddy, and cousin Ian. He loves words and letters. He is reading about 30 sight words and can sound out most 3-4 letter words.  He is so smart and enjoys life and learning. I am so glad to have Bronsen as my big boy!

I love your christmas hat tradition. so fun.

Say happy late birthday to Bronsen for me! That cake is awesome. I've always wanted to make a cake that cool, I'm just always afraid of carving it the wrong way. Kudos to Ben for doing such a great job. I can't believe how big Finn looks. He's a cutie pie.
