The day after Christmas was Brett's birthday. He does not mind having his birthday right after Christmas because he never has to go to school on his birthday. Lori does a good job of making the day special for him. This year once again we were planning to leave for a week of fun in the sun on his birthday but we took care of the birthday business first thing in the morning.
We started the day with pancakes and Brett lit his 11 candles on his birthday pancake.
Brett was able to blow them all out with one breath.
Ryan blew out his "unbirthday" candles in his pancake...
... and Jared did the same.
We got a web-cam so the kids could share their Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Dimond. It was Uncle Paul's idea and he coordinated it all. We decided to take advantage of the web-cam and Grandma and Grandpa Dimond were able to watch Brett open his gifts. Here he is opening his gift from Grandma and Grandpa Dimond. It was some Greatwood (Greenbay) Packers stuff.
Brett opening some Star Wars Legos.
After opening gifts and getting packed, we headed for Corpus Christi/Padre Island and met-up with the Andersons. We had the opportunity to spend some of our vacation with them before they move to Germany. For Brett's birthday we went out to eat at the Joe's Crab Shack in Corpus Christi. This is Ryan, Jared, Sarah, Brett and Flat Stanley at the Joe's.

For Brett's birthday they had him look for a Cherry in some whipped cream. Brett put all his effort into finding it even though it was not there.
They dropped the cherry in after he was done. Bret was a really good sport and I think he enjoyed the opportunity to get messy.
After dinner we went to see the replica of the Nina that is in the bay. Here is Brett, Jared, Ryan, Sarah and Sandy by the Nina, which is too the left. It is hard to see it in the dark.

Happy Birthday Brett! I wish we could have been there to witness the cherry "finding". It looked hilarious!
