10 year old birthday club
On October 29th, Bradley was the first grandchild to celebrate his 10th birthday so we thought that we would start a new birthday club for when the grandchildren celebrate their tenth birthday.
Allie and Carson will join soon enough. Allie will celebrate her tenth birthday in April and Carson will celebrate his tenth birthday in May.

Shortly before he turned eleven months old, his aunt (Katie) welcomed his younger cousin and a few days later, his aunt (Esther) welcomed his younger cousin.

All about Bradley: Ten years of life
It has been eight years since we posted an All about Bradley. It feels like yesterday that we just started his All about Bradley series and now we are adding one more post to it.
In the past ten years, he has gotten three younger sisters and one younger brother. He has also gotten twenty-seven cousins.
Bradley just celebrated his tenth birthday on October 29th so we thought that it would be nice to take a look back at his ten birthdays photos that we have shared on here including his birth announcement photos.
