Well, my little guy Brayden is twelve. My how time flies when you are having fun :) His birthday fell on Sunday this year which was fitting since he is old enough to receive the priesthood. He was ordained a Deacon. It really is crazy how old our kids are getting.
It was so nice to have Grandma Hamilton be with us for his ordination. She drove all the way out and had to leave right after to go to her ward since she is the R.S. President. Thanks Mom!
I am sooo blessed!
Brayden wanted a snake cake, so here is my poor attempt...
I just love this boys smile. I just can't help but smile myself when I see it :)
Opening Dawson's gift...
He made Brayden a card, and put $2 in it, that was so cute especially for a 6 year old to part with so much of his own money :)
Jada made Brayden a nice card...
Our gift to Brayden...
Yes, that would be Tacky Glue, curling ribbon and...
CASH!!!
All Brayden wanted from Dave and I was money. I put the glue and ribbon in to make the bag heavy and throw him off from thinking it was cash. I know really random, but I am so sneaky :) He wanted to put the cash towards a PS Vida. Well, I have had enough of spending money on game systems so we talked him out of it. He is now saving to buy a .22 rifle. He wants to get into hunting. Notice Brayden's green necklace... it was another gift from Dawson. He had made it at church, and was so happy to give it to Brayden for his birthday. Brayden was so kind to be excited about receiving it. He even wore it to his Scout Court of Honor :). Brayden is such a great brother!
