Proud to be...

...an American, where at least I know I'm free.  This is the song Brett heard as he received his AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP yesterday.  Weeks of studying, digging up all sorts of documentation, and a few trips to Renton for appointments and voila, he is now a citizen. 

Someone at work suggested he deserved a fancy dinner out...instead he got a cheesy celebration at home. 

Homemade brownies decorated by the kids.  Oli chose the wording, including "Bingo, you win".  Not sure how it fits but he was excited about it.

Oli chose a drink for Daddy and it just happened to be a good ol' American beer.

Oli also suggested that we have a picnic in the entryway (something we did to make it fun a couple of weeks ago when we didn't have a kitchen).  Not exactly the fancy dinner that some might have thought was deserved but Brett said, "the picnic was even better".
