Brayden celebrates Number 4 at Jumper!

We just celebrated Brayden's 4th birthday party at Jumpers! This was his first real party with friends. He was so excited to celebrate with his classmates from Trinity! He shared his party with his buddy, William Gearhart,on April 16th, almost 3 weeks before his actual birthday. This was a tough concept for Brayden (and probably any 3 year old),he couldn't figure out why after his party he was still just 3 years old! He finally accepted the notion it was his "fake birthday"!

The kids had a blast running around and jumping on the moon bounces! We had pizza and cake. While the kids were eating cake, I was trying to take some pictures. Brayden looked at me and said, "Mommy, could you take a picture of just the birthday boys?". Such a Cutie Patootie!

After the party was over, the boys and I took the girls back to St. Annie's. In the hallway, we saw Mrs. Hofmann. Brady was beaming and told her all about his party and his "fake birthday!". She sweetly wished him a very happy "fake birthday!"

Then it was time to open presents! Brady was very excited. At Jumpers he got to pick a monkey...he chose green. BTW...he loves the monkey (and so does Chloe). She convinced him to let her keep the monkey...the little stinker! Anyway, the first present he opened was from his buddy,Jimmy Stagnaro. He was so happy to get the game Angry Birds Knock on Wood. Next, he opened a gift from Kerri O'Reilly, it was Cars for his leap pad. He then opened a puzzle and kite. Perplexed he looked at me and asked, "Who are all the other presents for
mommy?". I explained that his friends had brought him presents to celebrate his special day! He was genuinely surprised...so innocent as a child. He had so much fun opening presents that day.

It is hard to believe Brayden will be 4 years old on May 4th!! Happy Birthday Brady Boy! You melt my heart little boy. It is such a joy to be your mommy! Like I tell you each and everyday, "I love you very, very much!"
