The day has finally arrived

In December, Braden came into my room early in the morning and asked the big question, "How many days until my birthday?"  We had a big discussion about how it was after Mom's birthday, Christmas, New Years, Auntie coming home, and then it would be closer to his birthday.  And so, all of those events have now come and gone and the day has finally arrived!!

BRADEN IS FIVE!!!!

He had a very fun day.  It started with a spider pancake.  He got to wear his "awesome new shirt with a hood" to preschool and he took spider cupcakes to share with his friends.  Then we went to lunch at Carl's Jr with 3 of his neighborhood friends.  He had a fun time playing with them and kept telling me on the way home that this was the best birthday ever.  Then we went house hunting for a few hours, found "the one", and came home to have his requested dinner of corn dogs and chips, opened his super duper awesome 4-wheeler, and ate his black widow cake.  

Braden is a special little boy and we are so grateful to have him in our family!
