Happy Birthday, Caden!

Caden is 5! Can you believe it?! We can't. Caden's birthday celebrations started on the Sunday before his birthday and ended on the Saturday following the big day. A good time was had by all!

Here is Caden's look of genuine surprise and joy. Nana and Papa visited the weekend before Caden's birthday, and they surprised him with his birthday presents. He had been counting down the days until his birthday, so this was a much-appreciated early birthday treat.

On Caden's actual birthday, Caden enjoyed being snack leader at preschool. After preschool, he ate lunch as quickly as possible, so he could get to the present-opening. Here are Caden and Cole posing with presents from Daddy and Mommy.
Nana and Papa introduced Caden to his new passion--Legos! After opening presents from us, Daddy and Cole helped Caden assemble his first Lego set. Caden cannot get enough of Legos. He follows the directions well with very little help, and he loves the process. Caden is quite proud of all his finished products--police truck and station, small fire truck, and pirate island so far. He is already saving his money for another set.
For Caden's birthday dinner, we borrowed an idea from Caden's good friend, Olivia and her family--homemade individual pizzas and ice cream sundaes. The boys enjoyed creating their dinner and dessert.
