Birthday Boy

Happy 2nd Birthday Braden!! We started celebrating Braden's birthday today, but it appears as though we may spread the celebration over a couple days. We never got to eating cake, so we'll have to at least do that tomorrow. Plus, Braden still has a few more gifts to open.
We could have gotten away with just giving Braden balloons for his birthday. He ran around the house wildly chasing Pepper while holding a bunch of balloons.
I insisted on tossing a couple books into the shopping cart at Toys R Us because our little nerd loves them! Plus, I feel better if he has a few educational gifts to open.
Who knew this toy would be so complicated to assemble?! Braden definitely tried to help as usual.
Braden looks like he is pleading with his Daddy to buy him the puppy. Fortunately, we did not leave the pet store with a pet!
Adding a bit of culture to his birthday celebration, Braden did a great job of eating his dinner with chopsticks.
We celebrated Braden's birthday at Shogun. Braden loved the "show" the chefs put on table side with sound effects and fire. Clearly, he wasn't too fond of the birthday hat though.
This was our authentic Japanese chef, Jose. He spoke Spanglish throughout his presentation.
