Shortly after we celebrated Braylens sixth birthday (just two short weeks, to be exact), we celebrated Judson's second birthday. Having two April birthdays makes for a busy month. I initially wanted to do a big joint party, but when Braylen played the Chuck'E'Cheese's card, I decided to have a low-key family party at the house for Judson.
