On October 24, Braden celebrated his 12th birthday. He had a great day! In school, he had two huge projects due and he was so excited to turn them in - isn't it always such a good feeling to be prepared?! One of his projects was a power point presentation on "Egyptians". He went the extra mile and made an interactive game while giving his report. It was very inventive and clever. His teacher was so impressed with it, that she is taking it to the district to show what he came up with. He was SO excited! That night, we went to a steak house for dinner. He was so excited to order an "adult" meal. And... of course it was a big, juicy, steak. We went home to open presents and have cake and ice cream. It was a great day.
