Brandon and Sadie traded presents. Brandon got a car and a tractor from Sadie and here Bradon is giving her her first doll - just like big brother's doll.

Mommy needed some help since she had just given birth so he helped feed mom some jello.

With Mommy in bed, Daddy, Sadie, and Brandon had a powwow.

Through it all Sadie had a big day and slept most of it. Near the end of the stay she opened her eyes to let us see her Baby Blues.

Brandon kept showing how important he was for Sadie since he needed to hold her, love on her, and keep her "warm and cozy" (in his words).
