Braden Turns Five.

 Mr. Braden turned five on the 6th.  Yes, you read correctly...FIVE as in 5!!!!! It surprises people when I tell them Braden is 5.  He is short for his age, with the Jensen/Ramirez genes it is not surprising.  
But he can hold his own, even though he's little.  He has a BIG personality.  
I love my boy.  
He is smart and witty.  
He loves to make us laugh.
He loves to build things with his hands. 
He is thoughtful and helpful.
He gives the BEST hugs.
He is tone deaf (like his father) but we LOVE it when he sings.  
He LOVES his sisters. 
He tells me he wants to marry me when he grows up and he is going to live with us FOREVER! 
He is an amazing little artist. 


He had preschool on his birthday.  He loved all of the attention.  
He wanted good ol' McDonald's for lunch, so we went...and we found one of his favorite classmates from last year there.  She is the cutest little girl and she is just Braden's size!:) Every time she sees Braden she very enthusiastically says: Hi Braden! 


This year was a 'family birthday'.  So I didn't throw a party with friends.  We do parties with friends every other year around here.  It's nice to be together as a family and celebrate.  
I did decorate.  
It makes the kids feel special when you make a big deal about their birthday.
On the 6th, it was ALL about Braden. 


He couldn't wait to open his presents! 


It's always fun to watch their reactions. 


He LOVES gummy bears.  
Thanks Great-Grandma Jensen for the card and the money.  
He is saving it in his piggy bank. 


We sang 'happy birthday'. 


He made a wish and blew all of the candles at once.  
He got that little crown from primary.  He looked so cute!
After opening presents and singing happy birthday, he chose to go to Red Robin for his birthday.  
We had a great time together celebrating our BIG boy! 


Our Mr. Braden is growing to be such an amazing little boy.  
I am SO enjoying this stage.  
He is such a sweet boy, we are so happy he is part of our family.  
He has been the BEST surprise of MY life! 


We love you Braden!

So crazy! How did your LITTLE boy turn 5?! It looks like you guys had a great time celebrating as a family. It's obvious you are a mother who adores her children. :)
