Family Celebration

The morning of Braden's birthday, we decided, and when I say we what I really mean is I decided that it would be more fun to make a little scavenger hunt for Braden to find his gifts since we felt they were not that exciting! He really enjoyed having to find and figure out the clues.

His first surprise was a mountain track for his cars. Brad has been trying to find one of these since Braden was born and weren't able to (without having to pay an arm and a leg) until the week of his birthday! He was very excited about it!

And then we didn't make him work for his other gift, a lacrosse helmet, which he was also very excited about. (we will be sure to post lacrosse schedules as his games approach!)

Then we had our family celebration, continuing with our Lion Knight theme.

Braden was able to celebrate with his grandparents, great grandparents, aunts and uncles and great aunts and uncles and even second cousins (or maybe first cousins once removed? I have yet to figure that whole thing out!).

I will say again, how thankful we are for such an incredible family! It is so rare to have families that are so involved and love being such an active part in each others' lives. We are so blessed and love you all so much! Thank you for helping make Braden birthday so special and memorable!
