Kaden turns 5













My little man turned 5 this past month and we celebrated w/ a trip to Washington DC followed by a magical birthday party back home and then a trip to Charleston. I still can't believe we managed to pull it all off.
Kaden had wanted a wizards/magic party so we hired a magician to entertain the kids, the cake was a top hat w/ a rabbit coming out of it, their were trick cards decorating all the tables and a sea of red, blue and black balloons. His current favorite place to eat is Moe's so we had it catered w/ a taco bar, which was a huge success. I had sent out about 35 invites but you never know how to prepare but I always like to have too much than not enough....and this time it paid off. We must have had 35 kids in the basement plus their parents, grandparents, etc. It was a huge turnout for a Tuesday evening but we couldn't have been happier to see everyone. And I will never forget the pure joy and excitement every time I looked at Kaden's face. The magician was wonderful captivating all those kids and even had a live bunny and made everyone balloon animals. We finished off the night giving everyone a stuffed bunny, top hat, magic wand and glow in the dark stars to take home w/ them. Then as it cleared out we went upstairs to let Kaden open his presents...it was like Christmas! Thank you to all of you who attended and to those who didn't make it I hope you enjoy the pictures.
