The Party

What was months of planning finally turned into reality...and it flew by. Most everyone up here is sick so people came and went. One big whirlwind, but Aiden had SO SO much fun. So much fun he went down for his nap around 4pm and didn't wake up till the next day. Wore himself out!

The food was delicious! Lenny's Subs was a hit! Hated that I didn't take a picture of the food table, but it was good. Served subs, salad, and various fruits found in the book. The cakes turned out great. Even though Aiden wasn't interested in his "pumpkin"/apple cake. Oh well it still was cute.

The kids were running wild, being kids. Which is quite adorable. The streamers on the fan were a big hit.The other big hit was the coloring pages, probably more with the adults than the kids. haha Guess we are all still kids at heart.

Next came present time. One word: Chaos! Live and learn. Didn't experience it last year because some of the kids weren't there. I will definitely do it different next year. Kids trying to open his presents/bossing Aiden around. Just so overwhelming...but why don't parent's take responsibility for their kids?! Yes, it's a party and kids are suppose to go wild. I mean Aiden was screaming for joy the whole time. haha. But there is a time when you have to wrangle your kids in and get them to obey you. It's not my responsibility to parent your kid. But other than that hiccup it was a GREAT day other than me sounding like crap.

Aiden got some adorable ADORABLE presents! He has been one stylish kid going to daycare the past week. The trains, books, and puzzles are such a hit. I just can't wait for this weather to warm up so we can head to the zoo and get out there hitting some tballs. He is one blessed kid and we have such amazing people in our life!!

What a fun day we had. I want to continue those fun days. Everyday! Memories upon memories. So for starters we did a class at Little Gym, which was interesting. 1st half of the visit he was holding onto me the whole time and panicked when I let him go, but by the end he was having a ball trying all the things out. The next thing I'm so excited for is "Little Kickers"! ahhh Aiden is starting soccer this spring. SO exciting! He can throw the ball excellent, but we need to practice his kicking skills.

Now for a funny. I was looking through my phone at all the pictures of Aiden I've taken over the years and this one is sad and funny at the same time. I took it right after his very 1st breathing treatment at the doctors office....can you tell he was fighting the WHOLE time! Red skin, sweating. Took 3 of us to hold him down. Man how times have changed...Poor little guy!
