Here's Brayden on his birthday. He got 2 giant trucks (that were actually made in Germany but came from Amazon) from Grandpa Jim and Mary that were his favorite toys.
Dad made a picture scavenger hunt for Brayden to find his new bike. It was hidden in the play tent in the basement. Allen did a good job and the kids had fun with it.
I made "cub cakes" for Brayden's birthday - cupcakes with a paw print, and a small cake just for Brayden. We let him ride his bike inside since it was new, and he loved it!
For Brayden's birthday party, he wanted a train party. His invitations had a picture of James - the #5 train - and said, "Brayden Pratt is turning 5 and can't wait for his birthday to arrive. All aboard the birthday express, please chug over and be our guest." I made a track up our front walkway with sidewalk chalk and put and sign up that said "Pratt Station" and made a circle railroad crossing sign (which I forgot to take pictures of because it was drizzly outside.) All of the kids got a conductors hat and we took a picture of each of the kids as they arrived for a train magnet craft that they made later. I had large construction paper and foam train stamps for the kids to make a train, but a bunch of the boys just wanted to play in Brayden's room, so we brought all of Brayden's train stuff downstairs, so the kids could choose to do the planned activity or play with the trains.
We did a scavenger hunt with the kids that started when the kids heard a knock and ran to the front door to find a note that said, "Lady the engine is lost because she went too far. Help us find her, the first clue is in Spencer's backyard car." The next clue was "Percy is green. Go to a place where your face can be seen" The next clue was taped to the bathroom mirror upstairs. Then, "Thomas rode the turntable and got really dizzy. He says to get better he needs somehting fizzy." The next clue was in the German frige where we keep soda. Next, "Gordon the engine is blue. Look under the blanket that's blue." That clue was upstairs. The last clue, "You've done a good job. Let's finish the task. You'll find Lady soon when you look beneath a mask." Then under the end table under our Venetian mask was Lady and train whistles for all of the kids. We took this picture right after they found the whistles, and you can see that Brayden and one of his friends is already playing trains.
Presents!

I hope you got your wish Brayden. Happy Birthday!
