On Sunday, April 13th, Cayden turned the big ONE! We had a party with family the night before! It was a construction themed party! We actually had it at our stake center, because the Clubhouse was literally under construction due to a pipe that burst! Here's a glimpse of the fun we had!
THE CAKE
 |
| Grandma Sheri made this awesome dump truck cake! It turned out so great! She is so creative and talented! |
 |
| This little birthday dude was just a bit eager to start 'diggin' in! |
THE CONSTRUCTION TREATS
 |
| This was so fun!! We had 7 different treats/snacks that represented construction items/parts! |
 |
| Licorice=rope. sugar wafers=lumber. pretzels=sticks. |
 |
jelly beans= pebbles. chex mix=nuts & bolts. cheese balls=wrecking balls.
chocolate donuts=truck tires. |
THE DECORATIONS
 |
| Richard made all the signs! |
 |
| These were the tablecloths we used! |
DINNER
 |
| We served a yummy dinner! |
 |
| Pasta with a choice of chilighetti or spaghetti sauce, green salad, fruit salad, and garlic bread! (Cayden loves chilighetti!) |
PRESENTS
 |
| Kinzie thought he needed help opening presents ;) |
 |
| He loves this book that plays music! |
 |
| He must be well loved and definitely spoiled! He got lots of fun toys, books, trucks/cars, clothes, and snacks! |
 |
| Trying out his new alphabet train with cousin Taytem! |
CAKE SMASH
 |
| I made just a little simple cake for him to smash and enjoy! |
 |
| He immediately went for the truck, but in the process his thumb got frosting on it. He didn't like that and just stared at his thumb like "ewww". He'd then try for the truck again and would again get frosting on it. He did this over and over. It was funny to watch, but frustrating for him ;) |
 |
| Finally he decided to try it! |
 |
| Obviously he wasn't going to dig in much with his hands, so after awhile we gave him a fork and he went to town with it! |
 |
| He finally made a mess! |
 |
| Love this big-blue-eyed, blonde haired, long eye-lashed birthday boy! |
HIS BIRTHDAY
 |
| His actual birthday day was pretty chill. We went to church, had leftover pasta, and let him "blow" out his candle! |
 |
| Kinzie showed him the right way to blow out a candle:) |
 |
| Cayden was impressed!! |
 |
| And she helped him eat his cake too! |
 |
| Can't imagine life without this cute, fun, energetic boy! So glad he's part of my family! |
Thanks to everyone who helped with his party, attended, and/or spoiled him with love & presents!!
Happy 1st Birthday Caydo! We Love You!!
What a fun theme! I love the decorations and cake! How wonderful!! You are so clever!!
