Grandparents & Special Friends Day Evening at School

Tonight was Grandparents and Special Friends night at Braden's school. This is the night that Braden gets to show off his classroom and school to his family members that are able to attend. Braden had quite the crowd for this years event. Grammy Mellody and Grandpa Steve, Grandma Paula, Great Grandmother and Granddaddy Walker, and Aunt Debby, Uncle Dave and Diana all came to join in on the fun. We first met at our house, then headed out to dinner at the Hickory Pit. The food was great and the company was even better! Then we headed over to the school for Braden to show off his skills. He took us to his classroom, where he was able to introduce his family to Mrs. Cohen...who was shocked to see all the family there for Braden, she even said that he wins the award for the most family attended for the evening ;) Braden was very proud of his artwork in the hallway, a picture he painted along with his self portrait. I have to say, and I am sure we are biased, but we were (and still are) very proud of him too :) While in the classroom, Braden read a book to his grandparents that he wrote, he is very much into writing his own series of epic novels, and they are very very interesting books...it is a talent he definitely has. Then he showed off his mad skills on the SmartBoard...he is a whiz at counting money, adding, reading, and many other things. After that we went to the cafeteria for dessert and coffee/tea/water. His grandparents were very proud to spend the evening with Braden and to share in the evening. It was great seeing everyone beaming...including Braden :)

Dinner time, we were all starving, and it was good eats too :)

He is telling me about how he made his butterfly out of nothing but hearts, way cute!

This is the self portrait, it looks just like him obviously :)

Look how proud they look, I just love that beaming shine in their faces and smiles!

All of the grandparents sitting at the desks while Braden talked to them about his school, WAY cute!
