Birthday boy!!

So much to be thankful for today- this precious little guy of ours turned 3 years old today! Happy Birthday my sweet, amazing Kaden- I love you with my entire heart! The day you walked into our lives changed us in so many ways. We could not be more blessed.

Birthdays at this age are so magical and so much fun. We have a tradition at our house- we sneak into the birthday child's room when they are sleeping and throw balloons all over their floor so when they wake up in the morning that is the first thing they see. The kids love it. :0)

Kaden was so excited this morning when he woke up. He kept yelling "I am THREE!!" So cute! He also requested a Spiderman cake and wanted a Buzz Lightyear outfit and Buzz doll for his birthday. His brothers and sisters surprised him with a big wheel.

Today we will celebrate with friends at the McDonalds play place and tonight we will be having his spiderman cake and of course his favorite meal- hot dogs for dinner.

Life is so sweet- especially when you are THREE. :0)

    You know I thought he was cute the first time I ever laid eyes on him before he was even a thought of being yours. He looks so happy and even more adorable!
