Aiden's Second Birthday

It's hard to believe my tiny baby is 2! Time truly flies when you're having fun. This past year is a big blur of fun, excitement and new discoveries. Andy and I feel lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful, sweet, healthy little boy.

Aiden had a very exciting birthday weekend. Saturday we had a birthday blow-out at Memaw and Papaw's house with lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins. We even had crafts which the little ones seemed to enjoy and didn't make too much of a mess. Aiden had a Wiggles cake and enjoyed being sung to and "blowing" out the candles (aka spitting on the cake). Sunday afternoon we traveled to Granma and Granpa's house for a joint party for my cousin Matt and cousin-in-law Aubrey. Again he got a kick out of the singing and candles and I think he is getting the hang of the whole unwrapping thing. Aiden spent his birthday Monday with Granma and Granpa playing at Monkey Joes. Tuesday we took cupcakes to school then went for his pictures that turned out very cute-- I've included some here.

Foam door-hangers for the kids to decorate.

Tela making the most out of all the available space on hers. Our nephew Chris left for the Navy the next day. We love you and we are very proud of you Chris!

Isn't that a sweet face? I think he likes having everyone sing to him.

Aiden took this one of Drew and Aunt Chrissy. Pretty good, huh?
