Brian is another year older. When me and the kids were heading out the door to do birthday shopping, Brian whispered to me, "Get something fun." So instead of buying him a new computer chair, we got him Rock Band. We thought that would be fun! He was definitely surprised when he opened it. Something he totally was not expecting. Because his birthday was to be a busy day (cello lesson, band practice, YW, Family History Library assignment), we celebrated it on Monday the 8th for Family Home Evening. After dinner we opened gifts, then ran upstairs and played Rock Band. This is a game Kevin had been playing all summer long with his friends, so he is a real pro at it. I was impressed that it works well playing together as a family because it will let you choose to play your instrument on what ever level you want, so everyone can play together at their own level. The kids were having a real good time, however I do believe Brian was a little frustrated with it. But he soon remedied that and disappeared downstairs, and when he returned he had his very own real guitar in hand. So he played along doing the real thing! (and he couldn't lose either!) When we got a little un-full from dinner, we enjoyed birthday cake: Fallen Chocolate Souffle, by Jessica. YUM! I think it was a fun evening.
Next year Brian turns 50- we'll need to do a real wowy celebration then!
