And the Birthday Weekend continues...........

Sunday morning we gave Brae his birthday present from us.....his own new set of scriptures - he knew he was getting them - it's just what our kids get when they turn 8! He was so excited to bring them to Church!
So this is the infamous Wii cake I made for his family party - with help from my friend Natalie - thanks Natalie for teaching me how to use fondant! It is SO much fun!!!! I tried a new recipe too - a lemon pound cake...I think it turned out pretty well :)
Opening presents....Aunt Mel & Aunt Charz gave him the same exact outfit :), but just so they know, when we exchanged one of them, we found matching Adida's shoes - so Brae is totally excited! That along with some birthday $ - he even got a sweatshirt to go with it - he's totally decked out in red/black! (His favorite color combination, thanks to being a Wolfpack football player!).
The cake, and angelfood cupcakes for those not wanting cake....
"Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birthday Dear Braeden, Happy Birthday to You!!!!
Blowing out his candles!
A little while after cake/ice cream....we look over at the table to find Jersie & Ella feeding Chewy 'snacks'....
These two are pretty cute together! We'd better watch out....they are going to be trouble! :)
