Braedyn Turns Five!

It is hard to believe our little man turned FIVE yesterday!  Hasn't he grown into such a handsome little dude?!

When planning his party, he knew immediately that he wanted to have it at Chuck E Cheese's.  Here is a picture of the Star Wars cake he picked out (yes, I know the themes don't match, but I am a mother to THREE kids now and themes are just not as important as they used to be):

Here are some of the boys (Daddy included) stragegizing on how to win the most tickets:


Brookelyn got to invite one of her friends too! She and Hadley had a blast!

And, Grandpa and Uncle David got in on the action too!

Here are the kiddos doing the Cupid Shuffle with Chuck E!

Braedyn was so excited to redeem his tickets!

And where was Braxtyn during all the fun you ask?  Pretty much like this most of the party:

After lots of games for the big kids, it was time to EAT!

Then, they did a whole "Birthday Show" featuring Braedyn! It was really cute! The kids started by banging on the table and called Chuck E out.

Braedyn got a special Birthday Star crown...


and then it was time to blow out his candles!


He LOVED Chuck E Cheese!

But, the highlight for him was definitely the Ticket Blaster! Check him out grabbing the tickets:


And LOOK - he managed to grab the 1000 ticket card!! He was beyond THRILLED!

Finally, he opened his presents with all his friends helping him out.

Seriously, this is the life kid! Live it up!

Happy Birthday B-Man! Mommy, Daddy, Brookelyn, and Braxtyn love you to the moon and back!
