Braden's Last Hoorah

We had to break the news to Braden.....the next celebration that involves gifts will not be until Christmas time. His birthday celebration is officially over....well, until we take him to Disneyland for his birthday in a couple weeks hopefully. We couldn't fit that activity in over the last few days. Braden's been too busy visiting with family, opening too many gifts, and eating cake!
Braden made sure Granddad still had stamina and energy to keep up with a 2-year-old. Judging by the looks on their faces, it appears as though Granddad did a pretty good job entertaining and caring for Braden while Matt and I went to an event for work. They are watching 2 dancing Elmos perform on the kitchen counter.....just one of many activities Braden involved his Granddad in!
Uncle Billy and Aunt Maria stopped by to spoil their nephew. Braden's mastered the look of excitement and surprise while meticulously opening his gifts.
No nap....it was very late.....so we decided to let Braden top off the evening with some cake!

Happy 2nd Birthday Braden. It's fun to celebrate for days. He looks like he's really enjoying his special day. I love checking out all the photos.

To get in to Disneyland early, or as the gates open, make a reservation for breakfast at the Plaza Inn. The Plaza Inn is located inside the park on Main St, just before tomorrow land. This not only do you get in early, you knock out a bunch of charaters at the same time. That way your not chasing them all day. They also spend extra time with you at the breakfast.
There are also a few more places for charater dinning if you don't want to do this. There is Goofy's Kitchen located at the Disneyland Hotel as well as Ariel's Grotto, (mostly princesses) located in CA Adventure. The number to Disney Dine is 714-781-DINE. Have fun!
