Birthday Boy!

Caden had a birthday party yesterday! We had all of our friends over to first celebrate Caden's birthday, and then to celebrate New Year's after the kids went to bed! :-)

We had a great time, and did all the typical one year birthday things...we ate fun kid's foods (Chicken Fingers, Fries, applesauce, and Pizza), opened presents from our wonderful friends, and then had cake. Boy, did Caden enjoy his cake! He enjoyed it so much that he needed a bath afterwards.

Alana and Taylor helped Caden open presents:

Here's the whole gang of kiddos!

Yummy blue icing!

We even got a video of the event!

This was after he had all of his cake....too much sugar!

Birthday Memories

We have been remembering the days of Caden's birth all week. I realized that I never posted the videos from Caden's birthday last year. The nurses took our camera to get pictures of Caden when he was just born. What we realized later was that the camera was on the video setting, not the picture setting. This turned out to be one of the greatest things about that day, because now we have short videos of Caden's first moments in the world. Enjoy some of our favorites...

I love this first video...Matt's face says it all, this was when they first gave him to us...

This video of when he was first weighed, you can see the 8 lbs, 4 oz on the scale. He had quite the set of lungs even at birth!

This last video is of the nurses cleaning him up after birth.
