For such a momentous occasion, we let Bradley have a friend party (these are few and far between at our house--I'm just mean that way). Since it was late August and still as hot as whatever we had a pool/BBQ party at Mom and Dad's house. Actually, we had two pool/BBQ parties that day.
We had all of Bradley's friends over first and let them play in the pool, super soak themselves with really cool water guns and eat hot dogs and burgers grilled by the Master Griller--Dad.
Here they are watching Bradley open gifts and stuffing down one last burger, dog or potato chip!
We threw them all back in the pool to play until it was time to take them all home. It was really a lot of fun. Bradley has a lot of good friends, for which I am very grateful. They are all really good, funny boys and I only had to shout at them not to drown each other a couple of times.
After we delivered Party #1 back to their respective homes, we geared up for Party #2--The Fam! Bradley dried off long enough to open family gifts and pose for a picture or two.
You would think a 12 year old boy would not really groove on getting new clothes, but Bradley was super excited about his new Fast Food wardrobe! The Legos and Chocolate covered Macadamia nuts were ok too.
After the wrapping paper was gathered and thrown we threw all our people into the pool and Mom cranked the Beach Boy Tunes--one of Bradley's summertime favorites! (You can see Megan is getting serious about soaking her Uncle Scott!)
Uncle Chase was so nice to take Baby Brett inside after his little dip in the pool. What a great Dad-to-Be--Soon!
The Grill Master fired things up again and we all got to enjoy amazing burgers and dogs!
On Sunday, we celebrated at Grandma-ma's house with one of Bradley's favorite desserts--Texas Sheet Cake. MMMMMM! Happy Birthday Bradley!
