Brayden's 5th Birthday!

So, Brayden turned 5 on October 20th.  Can't believe how time has flown!!  He was pretty excited and had a great couple of days.  We first started the day by waking up at 5:45 am.  I did mention he was excited. We had plenty of time to then open presents!  

 Glow sticks from Evan.


Pirate ship from Mom and Dad


A nice note from Evan.  It's pretty funny if you can actually read it.  He also got a puzzle and a shirt from his Grandpa Cobb.  When he got home from school he got a package in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa Dance.  They sent him a remote control car and some birthday clothes.  He had been wanting a remote control car for "like a kazillion-billion years!"  or so he said!  He loved all his presents!

For school I had made him some Angry Bird cake pops.  They turned out GREAT if I do say so myself!!  He loved them and so did all the kids.

   
They were fairly easy to make and turned out great!

Everyone wanted one so bad that we had some after our waffle breakfast.
Or as you can see. . . in Andrew's case it was instead of his waffle breakfast!

Addison loves pictures!

After school we went to soccer and then took them out to have ice cream for Brayden's birthday.  It was a later night for the kids, but it was fun.  I was gone on Friday afternoon and Saturday, so we waited until Sunday to have friends over for cake and ice cream.  He had enjoyed his Angry Bird pops so much that instead of a carousel cake (which I can make for the babies birthday because they don't care), I made him another Angry Birds themed item.


If you know Angry Birds, then hopefully you are saying to yourself, "wow, that looks just like the game!"  We just built a scene (which we made up) that looks like it came right out of Angry Birds the game!
It turned out well also.  Brayden was happy and that was what mattered!
I did make a few more "pops" and took them off the sticks to use in the scene.  It made all the difference!


Happy Birthday Brayden!!  We can't believe you are 5, but WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!  Happy Birthday!
