Party Time

Mix and Mingle...people had to gather wherever there was room!

LOVE this pic...it is so hard to get him to look at the camera...this was a lucky shot!
Presents, presents, presents...he was personally not a big fan of opening everything, but Addison sure was. She is in basically all of the pictures..."helping" of course!

The Cake

The "cake" ended up being about 5 million cupcakes! I actually made them...quite a big accomplishment...and then stuck little ducks in the middle of the orange icing. :)

He was totally not a fan of the cupcake. He poked at it a little...Daddy helped him out by plopping it right on his head. This was a short lived event...before he started crying! Oh well!

Food

Fruit Scewers that Chelsey and I did...easy but time consuming.
Always fun making food for an army...just having my fam over is enough for an army! Keith made sandwich after sandwich...good job, Babe!

Kaden turns 1!

I know that everyone always says this...but, has it really already been a year?!?! My sweet boy is growing up! I guess that is good though, with a little sister on the way.;) Keith and I keep saying that he has to grow up fast to make room for more! So...as you will see by the pics...major duck theme going on. I had a hard time deciding on what to do for Kaden. He is not in to any TV shows, characters, or much of anything yet. BUT...when it came to his toy rubber duckies, he loved them. He would scream if Addison even tried to take one away from him. :) So funny. We had a few of them that he played with in the bathtub and really just any time. I honestly think his first liking to them was when he was doing some of his teething. He could chew on them and it felt good to him. Whatever works!

We were blessed with a good day for his party...a few sprinkles, but lots of friends and family to celebrate with us. I love parties! And Addison definitely takes after her mama. She has been asking for weeks, "Is today the day of Kaden's party?" as she has seen me little by little get things together. One day she even asked if it was time for the "customers" to come! So cute!
Got that idea one night just laying in bed...ya know how they have the duck crossing signs???? The feet led up to the door. :)

The little marshmallows in the containers you see are "bubbles"!! Got that idea from a friend at school. I had planned on using blue M&M's for "water," but this was a little cheaper.
