Brock had his John Deere themed birthday party this afternoon. He was surrounded by LOTS of family and even a few friends. His cake was super cute in the shape of a tractor! He went to blow out the candles and actually got them all blown out and when we went to sing to him, he turned into Mr. Shy and fell to the floor hiding his face. It was so funny. He just laid there as we were all singing to him. I recall him not liking being sung to last year, too! He got tons of nice presents. I was about to think we were going to be there all day as he was ripping the paper off one tiny piece at a time. He was so funny because he'd get a really neat gift and want to play with it, but I was trying to hand him other things to open, and he would get all upset. He got some nice books, which I think he would have sat and read for a long time if I hadn't given him something else to open. Any article of clothing he opened went straight to the floor, they just weren't fun enough for him. Then he opened up a colorful dragon and dinosaur stuffed animals from Moi and Papaw. He, along with Jillian, thought those were just awesome! We had a great time, but we were missing one very important person, TJ. We had a bad ice storm pass through on Thursday night. TJ got called out around 1:00 am and he didn't get home until 11:00 pm Friday night, only to then have to be back at work this morning at 5:00. So, after being up for 48 hours and working his buns off in this icy cold weather, he missed his own party since it was his and Brock's party together. Right now he's up north working and we are just hoping that he gets to come home by Christmas Eve!
