We got to celebrate Brad's birthday today! We love him and our so grateful that he’s ours. The kids spent all morning making him cards and pictures. I didn’t help them or give them any direction and I loved what they came up with! Brads favorite presents are ones that are practical or ones that don’t cost any money. The kids won on their homemade gifts.
Brad and the kids took Keena for a walk to the dog park and then we went to Kade and Tenley’s piano recital. They call it festival and an adjudicator was there to judge them. Tenley was so nervous. She cried about it yesterday and today. When we walked into the piano room and saw another student being judged Tenley got even more nervous! I was in the back of the room trying to keep Luke quiet but Brad calmed her down and helped motivate her. She did an amazing job! The judge loved her second song so much that he said for the first time that whole day (it was 4 pm and he’d been working with students every 10-15 minutes since 9 am) he didn’t have anything but praise for her. I was SO proud! She didn’t even smile at this which makes me laugh. Afterward she was so relieved and says she won’t be scared to do it again someday. Kade rocked his songs too! It was a great experience for both of them.
We took them out for ice cream afterward to celebrate and then to dinner to celebrate Brad. Yep, they totally spoiled their dinner with ice cream but they deserved it today! Haha.
We ended the night with cake for Brad. It was such a good day. I love the weekend. I love watching my kids do hard things well. I love birthdays. And I love family time!
