Brayden had 7 of his friends over for his birthday party this year. He chose a Cars 2 theme and I was lazy and ordered a cake from Sams. But it was yummy and Brayden liked it, so that's all that counts! We realized as we watched Brayden and all of his friends that he really has an eclectic group of friends, but it just works. Brayden is the type of guy who will be friends with anyone, he doesn't care about what "group" they are in! All the boys got along really well and had fun, so it worked out great!

Earlier that day, Chris and I filled up 200 water balloons and in about 5 minutes, they were all gone. But the kids had a blast with their water balloon fight, so it was worth it!

I seriously don't know what I would've done if Chris wasn't here. He was so great with coming up with fun things for the boys to do. They played sharks and minnows, 500, football, relay races, cars. They had so much fun. I know the party wouldn't have been half as fun if Chris weren't there. And you want to know the best part? Chris gave up going to a Rockies game with some guys from church to be at the party. He thinks it's not a big deal, but there aren't a lot of dads out there like that and I think it's awesome. Our kids are blessed to have him!

What a fun party!
The cake was really cute!! This is like a birthday party from our childhood where all you needed was a pack of water balloons and a fun dad...I love it.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to tell you how great of job you did on the cake until I read that you bought it! OH well some years I feel like it and other years I don't!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Brayden! I love that name by the way
