This new Captain had a GREAT birthday. Thanks to his REAL soldier Grandpas (and Grandmas) for coming to kick start the beginning of his 5th year with him.

(I am in LOVE with this shot-too cute!)

At school today Captain Bryce was STILL talking to his friends about his "super awesome party where his Soldier Grandpas were there". These memories will last a lifetime I have NO DOUBT! He feels pretty darn special.
