Joys of turning 9!!

So, for a boy what are the joys of turning 9?  You become a Bear scout.  With Brayden's Birthday being on Veterans Day we can do a few things. It seems that in the last few years some restaurants are celebrating the many veterans that have served this country.  The trick is going early.  So, we picked up the kids from school and headed straight to Chili's.  It turned out that Matt and I ate for free and we just paid for the kids.  Then it was hurrying home to open up gifts.  We kept things simple because he had to be at basketball practice.  He loves to play ball just like his Dad.  Although I don't think he is as mean on the court has Matt is.  Happy Birthday Brayden.  Love you!!
