Monster Jam

Friends and cousins watching him open all his cool presents.

I accidentally got fake-out candles. He was so confused as to why they wouldn't go out. Ooops:)

The big moment!

The Monster Truck jam race

The happy birthday boy eating his dinner

The cake!

Brayden just turned 5!!! We can't believe it! Our little man is not so little anymore:( He has been saying for 2 years that he wanted a monster truck birthday party so this time we made it happen. He was so excited about it he could barely handle it. I made a monster jam cake that was one of the easier cakes I've done, but it was so cute and he loved it. We had our friends and family over. The kids decorated cookies that were in the shape tires and used brown frosting and sprinkles to make muddy tires. Then we ate pizza and salad for dinner. After that daddy was in charge of the games and we played throw the ball into the tire, and we actually had a little monster truck course that the kids got to race on. It was really cute. After that we opened presents and had cake. It was a successful party and Brayden felt so special. At one point I was worried because I really didn't have any more planned activities for the kids to do, but then I looked around and realized they were doing awesome. They were all just playing together, racing monsters trucks and just enjoying being outside and running. It was a really fun party and a success I think! Brayden we are so proud to call you our son and feel lucky that God gave us the important job of being your mommy and daddy. You are already showing godly character in many things and for that we are thankful. We hope you know how loved you are because words cannot express. Happy Birthday little man!
