Cake, Ice Cream & a Lil' Puddin'

The Birthday Boy!!!

Cayden's birthday party was a huge success, in my non-biased opinion.  :)

Remember the qualifications... 1- no one goes to the ER, 2- no one dies and 3- (optional) the majority of people have a good time.

Cayden acted VERY strange the majority of the party.  He sat in his new chair from Gigi and Pop and stared at the people covering his backyard.  Can we cay antisocial?  It was really out of the ordinary for Cayden.  He seemed to pep up once everyone left.  I guess he was in shock just a little.

The big hit...  no, it wasn't the ant-infested pinata this year!!  :)  It was Puddin'!  He was the best clown ever!  To top it off, he is a strong christian.  It was a win-win for all parties involved.  I think he made at least half a dozen pink elephants for Ansley.  Cayden's favorite was Elmo.  Balloons were popping all around us, but the kids were having a blast.  Check- success!

I was super paranoid about having my house destroyed, but it wasn't!  Everyone stayed outside the whole time, so I was extremely excited about that!  There are WAY too many pictures to post all of them.  Here are more than you would ever want to see!

This is anti-social Cayden...  Who?!!?  Weird!!!

I love that this wears him out on a daily basis!! :)

A HUGE 'Thank You' to all of our friends and family who made a special effort to be at Cayden's party.  We missed several of our friends and family who could not be with us, but you were in our hearts.  Cayden is blessed beyond measures to be surrounded by such wonderful people. Happy Birthday Son!
