Caden's 7th

Birthday's are so fun with young kids! Everyone gets excited, even if it is not their birthday. We had a family celebration in October and Caden was promised a friend party this year. Unfortunately, the friend party didn't happen until January. We just couldn't do it sooner with Ken working a lot of weekends, holidays and me being extremely tired from low iron.

Caden makes the silliest faces.

Ava always wants her picture taken and then wants to see it.

Brotherly love.

Caden does not care for cake so we had brownies.

We let Caden plan his friend party. He wanted to have it at Chuck E Cheese. I don't know if I will ever have a party there again. It was so crazy. It was really hard to keep track of the kids, they took forever getting us our tokens even though we had pre-ordered everything, pizza was gross, nearly impossible to round up kids for pizza, or hear them when we were opening presents. Caden did have fun, so I guess that is all that really matters.

Pretty excited that we are having brownies.

Legos were the theme this year.  Caden got Lego sets from every friend except one. Good thing he loves Legos.

Caden got two identical Lego sets. I telling him we could exchange one when he excitedly said he could give one to Chase and then they both could have one. What a great big brother.
