It was so much fun! A bunch of Brandon's family came that he hadn't seen in a while. He was glad to see them and I got to meet them too.

My aunt, uncle, and cousin sent us some really cool gifts. It was a surprise to get their package! They sent some really cute clothes and some miniature books that I recognize from when I was a kid: Chicken Soup With Rice and Pierre by Maurice Sedek (the same author as Where The Wild Things Are). I remember my dad reading me these when I was little. Uncle Jim and Aunt Vicki would know the significance of these books, and it was sweet that they remembered.
