We celebrated Brayden's birthday with a family party one day and friends the next. Brayden's buddy K was born 2 days before him with K's daddy's birthday right between the two. So we had a joint party to ensure Uncle B was not left out (he's very touchy). Here are some photos.

Brayden had a Curious George birthday party

Brayden's cousin Valarie has a birthday 2 days after Brayden. Busy week!

Brayden's cousin Todd shares the same birthday so he helped blow out the candles.

Our little farmer, K.

Great friends!

Prayers

Brayden started attempting to say his prayers before he eats and at bedtime awhile ago, but recently he has been saying them all day long. Anytime he pretends to cook something in his kitchen for us to eat he makes us hold hands so he can say prayers first. As you'll see in this video, or rather hear, I was caught spying on him. I rarely close my eyes while he's saying prayers because I think he's adorable trying to squeeze his eyes shut.

What he is saying is "God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. By His hands we all are fed. Give us Lord our daily bread. Amen."

PS - While writing this post we have said our prayers 3 times and I have been warned beforehand every time to close my eyes.
