I'm so behind on photos...Back in March, Caden turned 9! We celebrated his birthday a few times over the course of two weeks.
Caden's first birthday celebration was with friends and family at a bowling alley. The kids and adults had a lot of fun. Plus, the party was super easy for me, and it went smoothly. Two thumbs up!

Watching the kids bowl, react, and chat was very entertaining

The cake is getting brighter every year. Hard to believe it is time for 9 candles!

Post-party, we came home to hang out with Grammy, Aunt Mariah, Nana, and Papa.

It is hard to believe that another year has passed by. It seems like the years are starting to pass more quickly. Next year, Caden moves to double digits.
