The big 2-5

Somebody had a birthday on Wednesday.
And it was this guy.

Brandon's not huge on celebrating birthdays, especially when it coincides with the busiest school week ever.  (That may be a slight exaggeration...but it was definitely full.)

Anyway, since my guy is huge on eating, I tried to make some of his favorite things, like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, steak sandwiches, and strawberry cake. 

And here are some OCCA (Ellis and his wife, Rachel on the left) and NOOC friends singing Happy Birthday:

And for the grand finale we headed over to Wycliffe to celebrate by doing a run-through of a presentation Brandon and Ellis had to give the next day. (Hey, it's his day. If he wants to practice a presentation, who am I to turn him down?)

I especially love the shirt he's wearing to mark being a quarter of a century old. In case you can't see it, it's got a little guy standing at the bottom deciding between two directions: down one path, there are arrows pointing towards money, big success, fame, fortune, and glory. On the other side there's a single arrow pointing towards really cool waterslides. 

Happy birthday babe. I love you.
