Braylon's Birthday Parties

On March 17, Braylon turned 3 years old. In the days leading up to his birthday, I tried to get him ready and excited for his party, but for some reason, he did not want a party. On the day before his birthday, he finally admitted to me that he didn't want his birthday to come, or party, cake, or presents because when you turn 3, you are "big," and he wanted to be little forever. I honestly think that he associates being "big" to having to wear underwear, and he definitely doesn't want to start doing that. So, needless to say, I think potty training is going to be a challenge with him. Anyways, when the day finally arrived, he got a little more enthusiastic about it, and was definitely looking forward to his presents. When Jarom got off work that night, we went to our favorite family restaurant, Aggy's. Here is the Birthday Boy waiting for his food.

After Aggy's, we headed home to party. Usually my mom makes the kids' birthday cakes, but she was in Monterey with my brother this year, so I decided to purchase one from the Walmart Bakery. $20 for a nasty tasting cake, but it was cute and that is all that matters, right?

Braylon loves Buzz Lightyear, so I bought all of the Toy Story decorations and wrapping paper.

Braylon loved all of his presents especially his 5 foot tall Buzz tent.

Last week, my mom returned from Monterey and quickly made her way down to Logan to give Braylon her presents.

To keep up with the tradition, she made him a dinosaur cake. It turned out really cute. She is so talented.
