Big Day for Daddy-O

March 18 is a special day in the Johnson household. Not only is it Matt's birthday, but it was also Matt's beloved grandfather's birthday and even his great-grandfather's birthday. On top of that, March 18 marks Braden's "half birthday"....in other words, Braden is officially 2 and a half!


Braden asked me countless times if Daddy was going to get a cake for his birthday, so we decided to whip one up. Braden took this task very seriously....
Ooops! Well, a few egg shells in a cake can't hurt! Braden wasn't amused by having yolk on his hands apparently.
The entire time Braden was combining ingredients, he was singing, "Happy birthday to Daddy," over and over.
At this point in the baking process, this cute little baker was getting bored....or maybe just tired. It was way past his bedtime!

In a somewhat delirious state right before bedtime, Braden decided he had to make a card for Daddy-o. Of course there was meticulous drawing and placement of stickers on Daddy's special birthday card....and a nice song to top it off!

Kinda seems like he should be snapping with one hand and holding a martini in the other if he's going to be calling Matt "Daddio." :)

Hey, Ang- I haven't checked in in awhile but had to because last night I had a dream that I saw you and Braden. I was a little freaked out because he was taller than me but I couldn't convince you that he is big for his age. :) Hope you're well!
