Braden Turns 6...

Yesterday was Braden's sixth birthday. We celebrated by taking the boys to have dinner and games at Chuck E. Cheese's. Both of them were very good, and we all had a great time! Braden received a kid's digital camera and brownie mix for his Easy Bake Oven.

I've already had to counsel Braden on what it means to be a responsible photographer! He has been trying to take pictures of various family members while on the toilet, mom in her pj's, and Garrett's booty. Thank goodness it's digital and all just magically goes away!

We're planning to have a "friend" party for Braden later this month, or maybe in early February. It's so hard to get together another celebration so soon after Christmas. It always feels like we're cheating him and I feel just rotten about it. However, it'll all work itself out like it does every year.

Six years...I was just thinking the other day that in six more years he'll be all grown up, a big boy ready to go to junior high. How depressing! How time flies...
