Kaden is 5!

Yesterday Kaden turned 5 years old! It was kind of a low key event since he was sick with strep throat (luckily antibiotics were beginning to kick in though so he wasn't totally miserable). It began in the morning with french toast for breakfast and a present from Mia and Kyson

Then he had to wait ALL day for his party that night- he was pretty good about it though.
Here is his cake- far from perfect but at least not store-bought :) He wanted chocolate frosting and this was the only thing brown he could think of that he wanted.

He blew out the candles before I even got the cake down in front of him.

He loved his Legos from Nana and Papa

He got some cool space books from Grandma and Grandpa Kent in preparation for their trip to the planetarium this week! We read them at bed time and he was fascinated.

Grandma Carolyn came through with the Iron Man blaster- he's been asking for that for a while now and I kept avoiding it. It's actually not as obnoxious as I thought. He also got a mask to go with it. The funny part was that Ky was with us when she bought it and before he even started unwrapping it he started yelling, "Iron man! Iron man!!" oops...guess he remembered!

Here he is on his new, bigger bike- he was way too tall for his old one.

"I am Iron Man" Kyson got a mask too so they wouldn't fight :)

I think he had a good birthday- we love him tons and it's hard to imagine life before him just five years ago :) I'll post his check up stats/milestones later this week!
