Brayden turns 4!!!!

Ahoy there matey- Pirate Parties ahead!

May 5th our little guy turned 4! Where does the time go? Of course we had to drag the birthday festivities out for several weeks, having several parties and a LOT of pirate cookies...AARRGGHH! (My first attempt at actual cookie decoration I might add...)

We moved his parties (we had a family cook out and our first "kid" party) back a week beacuse of rain. But we had to do something on his actual birthday so we got up and opened presents, ate pirate birthday cookies and then partied at Incredible Pizza with Papaw and Lainey. Pirate cookies again on Tuesday when we celebrated at Sonshine School....

Birthday Act II- Kid party!! The next Saturday we invited a few kids from school to a Pirate Party in our backyard. Of course I went overboard and planned "centers" (the teacher comes out in me too often), had a mini lunch and more pirate cookies. Brayden insisted on wearing his Pirate costume from halloween but had the typical birthday breakdown during the party. Uncle Dusty bought him the enormous pool/waterpark and some kiddos stayed after for the grand opening swim...it was a big hit! THANKS Uncle Dusty!!

That evening the family came over for a cookout...more food and more presents. It was a great (and exhausting) day. In a blink of an eye my little guy went from a pacifier baby to PIRATE! Enjoy every minute...they pass too quickly!
