Brandon turned 18 on January 5, 2010. Attending seminary after a long holiday break began his day. His seminary teacher actually had a birthday sign up celebrating a 1/2 birthday of a student who celebrates her birthday in the summer. She had forgotten Brandon's birthday and was only reminded when another student wished him a happy birthday!
Brandon enjoyed a lot of Facebook and text birthday wishes from many friends in town as well as distant relatives while he was at school. That is how one communicates these days.
We celebrated with a family dinner at Outback Steak House as the temperatures in Kansas City plunged into the 0 digits. The weather forecasters were predicting a bad winter storm two days after Brandon's birthday which was on a Tuesday!
The Naylor and Davis family wished Brandon a happy day and we served a texas sheet cake. John Naylor shares the same birthday as Brandon so it has been a tradition to celebrate together. Around 9:30 PM, Kate received a text message announcing that SMSD canceled school the next day. We could hardly believe her when her Mom, Mary Ellen, received her very own text message stating the same thing. The information flew around fast and furious and the teens were a hopping! A movie/birthday party was planned within the hour with several of his friends.
For the next 3 days, Brandon got to "party" as school was canceled. 5 more inches of snow fell and the wind-chill temperatures fell to -30 degrees!
What a way to celebrate being 18!!!!!!!!!
Happy 18th to Brandon! That's crazy!!!!! Glad Mother Nature could accomodate his birthday wishes! HA!
ReplyDeleteTell B happy birthday from me too. Okay Brad's father just cracked me up. Now I know where Brad gets his animative personality from. He's a lot like his dad. I hope that's a compliment.
