1st Birthday party!

I finally have had time to get a bit organized and here are some pictures from Caden's actual birthday. I thought there were more, but this is it. We had a low key birthday for him. Probably more for us than him. My dad flew over and took a break from taxes, and my mom was already here. We also had the Rings over so the cousins could celebrate together.

Caden did not like the party hat and almost snapped the elastic around his neck. Ouch! He was not really engaged in opening the presents. He was more interested in playing with what he had. One present he got was a tool sack that sings. Uncle Matt called it the tool purse, but it's brown, so it's a sack. He now likes to make the sack sing. His favorite part of the birthday party was cake and ice cream! He loved the cake! We made cupcakes and just let him have them. ( I didn't even get a picture of them) We gave Caden and Charlie each a cupcake with a candle and let them blow it out. Charlie kind of understood, Caden did not. Caden did know what to do with the cupcake. He grabbed the whole thing and shoved it in his mouth. He also grabbed the ice cream and shoved that in his mouth too. We gave him a second cupcake because he liked it so much. My mom made real whipped cream frosting, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been, less sugar for the little guys. (us too!)


This picture is actually before they started with the cupcakes, a little bit out of sequence. Ooops!
