Bradey's Birthday Party!!!

So... sitting here tonight I just am in total amazement that Bradey is going to be 10 years old tomorrow. So CRAZY!!! Anyway, we decided to have a party for Bradey this past Wednesday because Mike had to work all weekend and wouldn't be here for his birthday. We also knew that my mom and dad had a great surprise for Bradey and he wouldn't be spending his time at home on his birthday anyway.

So, the party was slated for 5 pm (so Mike could get to bed since he leaves at around 2 am). Everyone started showing up a little before 5. Bradey was so dang excited. I had spent a whole day making him a fun cake and then we were serving barbecues for dinner.

But of course the exciting part is when everyone joins together in the living room and watches Bradey open his gifts. For those of you who don't know Bradey, he is quite the little comedian. He opened every card and read outloud every word both printed on the card and hand written inside. He had everyone laughing. So funny!

He made a haul! I think he made something like $35. That's alot for a ten year old, isn't it? He got lots of great gifts too. And finally mom and dad were able to share their surprise they've been keeping for so long... He's going to a JAZZ game for his birthday!!! He was so dang excited. And he's taking his $35 plus some more in his bank for an "autograph of D. Williams". That's his favorite player. He can't wait to take pictures with his digital camera that he got for Christmas. It'll be a fun post when he gets home!
