Caden's 4th Birthday Party!

Today was Caden's Birthday Party! It was his first party outside the house, we decided it would me much easier after the arrival of Cora not to have to clean the house and cook (other than the cake). So to the Discovery Stop we went! The kids all had loads of fun, and I would be surprised if any of them didn't sleep on the way home, or at least have a really good nights sleep!

The older kids spent most of their time in the play structure, which is a giant obstacle course complete with a slide at the end. Otherwise there are blocks, play kitchen, magnets, cars, and a digging tool among many other fun activities! After play time we had pizza and cake.. you can see my attempt at Wall-E.. tinting the frosting is not my forte, as you can see Wall-E is looking a bit orange rather than yellow.. and the light gray, dark gray and black frosting pretty much all look the same color.. but it all turned everyone's mouth colors, so what more can you ask for?! You can see Caden demonstrating what he will look like once puberty hits and he can grow a mustache.. although I hope that is not the color of his facial hair as it will look odd with his blond hair! (not that I am promoting a. growing up too fast or b. mustaches!!)

Cora slept the entire time we were there, about 3 hours.. so anyone looking to get their baby fix, unfortunately didn't since we kept her strapped in her carrier. After the party Danielle and her fam came back to the house before venturing back to Rhode Island, so Caden had fun opening up his presents and all the kids got to play for a bit before it was time for them to head off. Every present Caden got was a BIG hit! Pretty much all have been played with already. Thank you everyone for coming to Caden's Party! We hope you all had a great time and we thank you for the great gifts too!
