Brayden's 5th Birthday!

Brayden had a great 5th Birthday! It was on a Friday so Guy was able to take a half day off so we could play all afternoon. Brayden was so excited to finally be 5 and we were excited to party all weekend.  We actually did cake and presents the night before on Thursday night so we could head to Disney on his actual birthday. Brayden could not wait to open his presents, which we actually had been saving in the closet since black friday of last year when we went crazy with all the sales :) It was nice to have everything already and just wrap it up, especially since toys are not on sale in May! This is also Christmas cars wrapping paper we bought after Christmas...again, the kids could care less that it says "Happy Holidays on it." They just liked that it was cars!

 Opening presents with the help of Tyler

 Brayden wanted a castle cake so we came up with this idea. It looks harder then it was to make.  We just decorated it with lots of candy and ice cream cones.  Brayden and I had a lot of fun making it together and it was all worth it for how excited the boys were about it!

 Tyler would just sit and stare at it! He loved it!

Brayden was a pro at blowing out 5 candles this year! 

On Friday we headed down to Disney for some birthday fun. Tyler fell asleep on the way to Orlando like this and I thought it was cute. That boy and his blanket!

 For my birthday, my parents gave me a character dinner at Disney and I saved it to use on Brayden's birthday. We were really excited about it. The place we chose to eat was in Epcot called the Garden Grille. It was a rotating restaurant so the views were always changing and for half of it we got to watch part of a ride, which was fun.

 Brayden was so excited about it and all the characters made such a big deal about his birthday.  It was pretty cute.  Our dinner had Mickey, Pluto, and Chip and Dale.

 We were most excited to see Farmer Mickey :)

 Except Tyler was kind of freaked out. Mickey did get him to give him a high 5 and a quick little smile, after sitting at our table and playing games with him for awhile. But Tyler mostly wanted to be as far away from the characters as possible. He likes them from a distance!

 All our yummy food!

 Pluto was so funny and spent a lot of time hanging out with Brayden.

 Mickey brought Brayden a little birthday cake to blow out and we all sang him "Happy Birthday." He LOVED it!

Thanks mom and dad for such a fun present. Brayden keeps telling us that this was the best part of his birthday :)
