Party Time

Aiden had such a fun birthday party yesterday...despite the crazy rainstorm at the end of it. On Friday, my mom and I spent a LONG time making Aiden a cute cut-up cake. My mom used to always make fun cakes for me and my siblings and she helped me a lot with making my first one. I was really happy with how our dinosaur/dragon cake turned out.

The coolest thing about it is that it matched Aiden's dragon birthday gift. :)

A bunch of Aiden's cute cousins helped him open up his gifts.



When we gave Aiden cake, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth. No hesitation whatsoever.


And after cake, we all went swimming. We bought Aiden a little floaty tube (so he doesn't try to dive in the water like he usually does) and he loved it. He just laid his head back, rested his arms on the sides, and crossed his ankles. He hardly moved the whole time in it! He is never calm like but I guess the party pooped him out.

Thanks everyone who came to spend Aiden's 1st birthday with us!
