Brayden's 5th Birthday Party(s)

Yes...I said parties!  Brayden got to celebrate 3 separate times!  That is how we roll around here!

The Friday before his birthday, Matt and I took pudding cups, real whipped cream and sprinkles to school for his class' afternoon snack.  How they manage to get 24 4-5 yr old kids to sit still, be patient, and be quiet is beyond me.  It is amazing to watch the teachers do their magic!  The kids enjoyed their treat and Brayden was happy to have a little extra attention.  As an added bonus, Aunt Dana picked the kids up from school and she and Uncle John babysat that evening so that Matt and I could celebrate our anniversary :)

He has been asking for MONTHS to have his party at the "bounce house place where Kyle, Trey, and Parker had their parties".   Brayden has also been telling me that he wanted a Batman and Superman themed party for several months.   So we booked his party at Young's Gym in Wake Forest and had batman and superman cupcakes :)  He was happy, which is all that mattered!

The kids had a blast running around, bouncing, and playing.  They also seemed to enjoy the snacks afterwards.

The following day, our families came over and we had a cook out to celebrate on Brayden's actual birthday.  Apparently, the kids in Sunday School also sang to him :)   He got lots of cool new toys with his favorites being legos, a real baseball (t-ball) bat, and a couple of games. 

Getting ready to go up in the big swing...he conquered a fear by doing this!  So proud!
