Aiden is turning 1 tomorrow. Crazy how time flies! We celebrated his birthday on Monday night with cake and ice cream. Both Randy's parents and my parents were able to come as well as Aunt Jessica and Teresa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Natalie and Uncle Alex. And many of his cousins came too: Jeremy, Joshua, Justin and Lilyanne. Hope you enjoy these pics of Aidens special day!


This is the only video I got of Aiden trying out the cake. There was too much going on to get other good ones.



Once Aiden realized the cake was yummy and he could put it in his mouth he really went for it. We have noticed that Aiden sometimes likes to eat like a dog, and he decided it would be easier to eat his cake with his mouth instead of his hands. Too funny! Randy got some great shots of this. The cake eventually fell into his lap, and then he tried to lick his plate. He really ate a lot of cake and ended up with a sugar coma....but everyone had a blast watching him. I wish you could hear all of the family reactions.

So cute! I think he is ready for a steak any day now. For some reason your video doesn't work...what's up with that?
Happy Birthday Aiden, we love you!

This is the first time I have done a video. It seems to work just fine on my computer. That's strange.

How fun that he turned 1 - I loved seeing him pick up his plate instead of touching it - not a common thing for a boy to do. Hopefully he wasn't as hard to clean up this way.

I still had to hose him off in the sink. it was all over his face and arms and even in his hair. But it was fun having all the family there cheering him on!
