Braydens week long 5th Birthday

I cannot believe, our baby is 5!!

Brayden had a birthday party at our house on Saturday- most of our friends were able to make it.

His cake and theme was train the dragon. Here he is with his 2 tier cake!

Here is everyone singing Happy Birthday- it was a little hectic with 60 people, but we did it!!

We had: the bounce house, train your dragon playing on TV, a dragon pinata (a "anatta" as Brayden would say), playdough play,

 2 sandboxes, the trampoline, the see saw.......and lots to eat!

And the big Highlight- was Brayden - at age 5, getting his HOUSE!!!! It has a mailbox, lights, a doorbell, a loft, 2 sky lights, a lego table, blender, chaulkboard, drawing table....a vacumn and microwave (thanks to aunt minnie).

Doesn' every 5 year old have a house? 

I had a really good time painting it blue, hanging curtains and making it all an airplane theme.  

The kids had alot of fun in it, i hope they have many happy play times in it!

When Brayden woke up, we had a train your dragon Tshirt out for him to wear to his party. When he went to go to bed, we had train your dragon PJ's for him.....He loved them!

On Wed, I went to his class to celebrate his Bday. He was so cute when his teacher called him up. We sung to him and passed out his bday treats. I read his favorite book to the class, the Hungry Catepillar.

After, we handed out treat bags to each of his friends, Brayden was so excited to pass them out, he was dancing!!!

That night, we got to have dinner with Matthew (& Ben) , it was his 6th Birthday. It was alot of fun and really special.

Here is a picture of Matt balancing the kids...

When we got home, we had the more cake- we wanted to have our final celebration as a family.

I made Brayden Memory Cards (his favorite game) out of all of our disney pictures....and Chandler got him a batman toy he has wanted for awhile- heres a picture:

 so, our week long celebration is over! i am in tears, knowing brayden is now 5. He is such a beautiful, kind, and loving spirited boy. we are so blessed to be his parents. chandler adores his brother too!

we love you buddy, thank you for a special week!
