Happy Birthday, Boys!!

Gaven and Braeden have birthdays just 1 month apart.  So, this year, we decided to rent a bounce house in between both of their birthdays and have 2 parties in one day. We lucked out that our realtor has a "perks" program that allows you to borrow all sorts of home-improvement equipment for free.  He recently added a bounce house (just for fun) to that list of equipment.

They came first thing Saturday morning to set it up, and Gaven wanted to be the FIRST one in it! 

Can you tell someone is excited?

A WHOLE HANDFUL!!!

Once again, I had to do some sweet-talking to get Braeden to pose for my pictures.

Our big NINE year old!

Four little munchkins before the one little boy arrived:

 

I LOVED Gaven's reaction to his friends and family singing Happy Birthday to him! It was so honest and genuine, and couldn't hide the pure joy and excitement he had!

 Once he got over the shock of everyone singing to him... he became the Gaven that we all know and love and started dancing and singing along!

He was one lucky little boy with many very thoughtful gifts!

 

 Braeden and his guests

As you can see, 4 of them have on the same t-shirt.  That's because they had the District UIL tournament that morning and those 4 all participated.

Kamryn was up from her nap and took advantage of the boys getting out of the bounce house and playing football to get in and jump a little bit herself.  She LOVED it!!

Present time

I love that he's a die-hard UT fan... I wonder how long that will last when we leave TX?

 

 What a GREAT bunch of boys!
