Braden's Third Birthday

We started the day with some balloons.

Then round one of gifts and cards.

An early morning birthday song from Aunt Holly.

Number "3" pancakes.

Kate enjoyed the pancakes too.

The cove with our birthday buddy, Leah. She is four today!

"Hooray for birthdays!"

Striking a pose.

Beautiful day for a birthday!

PlayDoh to help ward off post nap grumpiness.

Presents Part 2: "My own fishing pole!"

Fishing with Daddy (I love this picture and these guys!)

We headed to another park for dinner, fishing and cupcakes.

Kate was a trooper. She mostly gnawed on french fries. Don't judge me! :)

Happy Birthday to you!

Kate still chilling in the stroller.

The Stanleys met us at the park for cupcakes and playing.

Love these cuties!

I think Braden had a great birthday! He said his favorite part was the cupcakes...surprise, surprise! We sure love this little guy and thank God for him daily!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRADEN!
We are so happy you had a great birthday and had great weather for your birthday party. Fishing is one of your Papa's favorite pastimes. I can see dual state fishing licenses in the future for both guys. And we sure hated to miss the great looking cupcake cake. A birthday with your friends and family is the best!
Love,
GrandJan and Papa
