Our Pirate is Eight

Today Brayden is 8 years old! Wow, eight is one of those numbers that seems so big. When did it happen, how did we get here and why did it go so fast? Brayd wanted something to do with pirates so we made some eye patches, captain hats and printed off some crazy looking pirate characters for cupcake toppers. Being away from most of our family my sister and Matthew were the only ones that made it over but that enough for Brayden. It was a school night anyway so we didn't have a lot of time for hard core playing and we're going to Lethbridge this weekend when he'll be with the whole family so the quiet evening was fine. He enjoyed it and had some good presents to unwrap which is one of the most important parts of a birthday when your eight anyway.

Brayden is such a great kid. He's compassionate, and such a caring older brother. He love to impress us and does every day. He is amazing with his hands, loves to build and create and rarely grows annoyed with his two sisters who are always trying to be a part of what he is doing. I am so proud to be a mother of such an incredible boy! Brayd, we sure love you and happy birthday.
