Time to celebrate!

Today was the party day!  We celebrated Caeden's birthday, and also my parents and brother and sis-in-law came from Indiana to help celebrate!  We have much to be thankful for, and were glad to all be together!

-- Caeden's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cupcake cake --

I do not do well with cake decorating (at ALL!), so this came from Wal-Mart bakery.  The characters go around when you turn the gears.  He was very pleased.

The kids played Mickey Memory Match game. 

Caeden did better when we let him play it on his own.

Jeremy is the best at picking out and giving cards.  He gave Caeden a Yoda card that played the Star Wars theme song.  Caeden was so thrilled, he would have been happy to get just this card and not one other thing, I think!

A Mickey stuffie from Disney World, with lots of 2009's on it, to remind him when we went to see Mickey.

Mario Kart Wii jammies!!

Star Wars clothing, always a pleaser

A very cool shirt from Uncle Travis & Aunt Erin!  Thank you!

This boy is even excited to get socks, thank goodness!  Thank you Gram & Krampa!

Krampa & Gram gave Caeden a HotWheels collectible car.  Apparently there is one for each state, and they come with interlocking clear boxes.  This one is from Indiana.  Very cool!

Gram is going to have a very special birthday this week too!  So we also celebrated her!

Aunt Erin & Uncle Travis will be having their 8th anniversary this week!  So we celebrated them too!  See, we have so much to be thankful for!  And, if you can't tell, we are also celebrating Baby Girl McEowen's life, and thanking God for her, excitedly waiting for her arrival in February!!

Since we won't be traveling to Indiana for Annah's birthday later this month, and they can't travel back this way again, Gram & Krampa and Travis & Erin showered Annah with gifts today too!

Could he BE any more into this card?!  He was entertained by this thing all day long!

Jeremy and I had to leave for a while to go to a wedding, and Gram had no trouble keeping the kids entertained.  They played Operation, watched a movie, and had raked up leaves and were doing somersaults through them when we got back home!

Caeden waited all day long to blow out his candles and eat a birthday cupcake!  Gram blew out candles on her pumpkin bars too. 

Happy birthday Caeden!
