Brayden turns 8!!!

I don't believe that my little boy has turned 8! 

How did that happen??? How has it already been 8 years since we became parents?? 

Brayden was the first of our crazy cute little boys and he was a great way to start off our little family. 

He is an energetic, opinionated, loving, smart, funny little boy. He thinks he's a teenager or something sometimes and can make me laugh and drive me mad all in the same day! 

 We started off his big day by opening up his presents. He got some great stuff! 

He got this Lego Harry Potter game from mom and dad.....

We all had fun playing it together later that afternoon. Brayden won!

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid books from his Grandparents....

He's already read one book and is onto the next one.

And this huge crazy remote control car from his Grandpa Patton...

Can you see Brayden???

I'm not sure who had more fun with this remote control car... Brayden, Landon, or Daddy! Landon thought it was the funniest thing to chase the car around and try to catch it. He just giggled and giggled as he ran after it or as it zoomed passed him.

He also got a Bakugan Wii game and a Harry Potter Lego set from his brothers. (Does anyone else see a Harry Potter and Lego obsession going on here?!?! Just wait until you see what Santa brought him the next day!!)

After presents, Brayden chose to have cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We went all out and had Taco Bell for lunch (again his choice!) and his favorite dinner of Fideo. 

Since he had already had a cake at his party the week before, he decided to have his favorite, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, after dinner with a candle and we all sang to him and enjoyed the minty chocolaty goodness before bed.

It was a great day! We all played together and laughed and had a fun time celebrating Brayden's 8 years in our family! When the day was over, we put out cookies and Dr. Pepper for Santa (that's what he likes at our house!) and some carrots for the Reindeer. I attempted to get a picture of the 3 boys in front of the Christmas tree....

This was the best I got. Landon was not exactly willing to sit still.... I mean after all, it was Christmas Eve... so much excitement, and one year olds pretty much never ever sit still.

Happy Birthday Brayden.... thank you for choosing to come to our family 8 years ago and for making us your parents!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!
