Happy Birthday Caden!

Today is Caden's big day! Today, Caden turns one! We celebrated with a few friends and family and had a blast! David and I learned that preparing for a first birthday was not for the weak! It was a lot of work! We had a great time and so did Caden!

He pulled himself right up after mommy sang to him!

I tried to make a whole day of it! We started out with a happy birthday wake up song, which he loved! He knew today was his big day! He was all smiles from the moment I walked in his room! Then we had a birthday breakfast!

He wasn't too excited about wearing his birthday hat!

It was so fun to watch him interact with the other "almost" one year old and older kids! He played like such a big boy! He loves to spend time in his play corner where all of his toys live. He pulls himself up on the toy bins and starts pulling everything out! This time had had buddies to help him out! It was the cutest thing ever! Most of our weekly play group was able to make it, so he had most of his buddies here. They had a glorified play date! It was great!

All in all, we had a fabulous birthday party! We can't believe that Caden is already one! Where has the time gone? He is such a sweet boy and we love him more than we both ever thought we could love anything! He is our pride and joy! Happy birthday sweet boy!

His first taste of a sugery treat!

Not so sure about it!

Oh boy! He loved it!

I mean LOVED it!

He had lots of help unwrapping his gifts.

Playing with some of his new birthday toys!

And we were all wiped out by the end of the day!
