We were so excited to celebrate the birth of one of our most favorite boys, our Godson, Brayden Everett.

Brayden's birth is something we hold near to our heart. We love the sweet boy very much. Brian, McKenna, Ben & I are very lucky to be such a big part of our best friend's lives.

Brayden has become such a big boy. He's walking all over the place. He says Hi, more, mom, dad (and I'm sure lots more at home!) and gives lots of kisses. He loves McKenna; he calls her Didi when he points to her picture. He loves to play with cars, throw balls, slam dunk into his basketball net, and show you that he's sooo big!


We had a blast celebrating the "Little Monster"!

Brayden,
This is your first.  Your first birthday.  The first of MANY birthdays to come.  We'll be there.  Yep.  We'll be there for EVERY one.  We promise.  We love you so much.  I know we say it all the time.  It's just because we truly mean it.  We couldn't be prouder to be called your Godparents.  We vow to ALWAYS be there for you.  We love you. 

Happy First Birthday, Brayden.  Happy Birthday.

I can't believe we already have a 1-year-old (Life, why are you rushing us?). Brayden is such a lucky ducky to have you guys in his life. Someday he will realize how blessed he is to have you as the Godparents. For now, he will just continue to express love by throwing objects in your general direction. - Brad-e

Just love reading each of these posts. Had such a great time at the big 1st b-day party. So many kids!!!

Thanks for the pic of me and Jordan. Yes, we are a super good looking couple. Just wish you had a pic of Jordan deflating the jump-jump. That was priceless.

See you guys on Thursday for some turkey and pie!!!

Love, Lizzie...AB.

Ridiculous! I don't know how you do it, but you had me in tears again reading this post. I can't believe my baby is one already! We are so incredibly lucky to have your family in our lives. You are our best friends and we couldn't imagine celebrating any moment, on matter how big or small, in our lives without you. We love you!
