Braden's Kindergarten Graduation

I am a bit behind in my posting, this should have come before the holiday weekend, but I wasn't able to get to it, so it is coming now. Last Thursday afternoon, Braden had his kindergarten graduation from Westview Elementary. He loves going to school, and in fact never missed a day the entire school year this year :) It was absolutely adorable, as most kindergarten graduations are, but this one was extra cute because of Braden's outfit. Granny wanted to buy Braden his special clothes for the occasion, and we had spent time getting just the right shirt and pants along with sizes which consisted of breaking out the measuring tape and getting exact measurements for the dress clothes. In the end, Granny did awesome, even picking out a blue button-up shirt with a yellow tie since blue and yellow are the school colors - THANKS AGAIN GRANNY! Braden looked very snazzy in his "sweet" (as he called them) clothes. He really liked the tie. Since the graduation was at 11:15 a.m., and he had school that morning, he had to be dressed and ready to go for the graduation when he left the house that morning. We got all dressed up and I put the tie in Braden's book bag for him to put on before the graduation so he didn't have to wear it through school. But when he came out to go up in front of the audience with his shirt untucked and his tie put on two buttons down it was PRICELESS! See for yourself below. I took several pictures and a few clips and have posted them below. We had lots of visitors come up for the graduation, we were joined by Aunt Jenein, Granny, Grandma Jancey, Tara, Kaylea, Grandpa Steve, Terri, Olivia, and Ethan, and of course Josh and I. Afterwards we went to IHop for a late breakfast and present opening time, it was such a great milestone for Braden and he had lots of friends and family there to cheer him on!

Grandma Jancey and Papa John got Braden his cool new elbow, knee, and hand pads for skateboarding - Braden loves them!

Granny Janet got Braden a new Webkinz that is a Boston Terrier, very adorable!

Josh and I went with a new DS game, he is into Star Wars these days, and it was a huge hit, the only game he has played since then :)

Aunt Jenein and Uncle Steve got him a savings bond, we love these things!
