Happy Birthday Cader-Mater!

Oh I just love this little boy and have no idea how he is already 4 years old! We all just love our Cader-Mater so much, and loved spoiling him on his special day. 

Caden was so excited when he woke up and wanted to open his presents. We told him he had to wait until later that night.

 We took Makayla to preschool and then I told Caden he could choose what we did that day. He wanted to go to Fiiz and get a drink and a treat. He got to choose his own drink and chose a kiwi flavored sprite with gummie frogs in it.

 We had to wait for a few hours for Makayla to be done with preschool and Brynnli to wake up from her nap before we could go to the next Caden chosen event: the "em-uezium of Natural Curiosity." We have been here quite a few times, but every time we go we manage to find new things to do. All the kids had so much fun. They drew pictures

 Climbed the rock wall

 Put on quite a few shows... which were all hilarious!

 We also went on the zip line, played with the sand, and built some pretty cool towers. The kids must have had fun because all three of them were zonked out on the way home.

We picked up Daddy and then headed to Caden's pick for dinner... are you surprised? He picked "The Enchalada"

 Caden was pretty amazed at his very own fried ice cream.

 After dinner we came home and Caden finally got to open his presents. He got a tool box, outfits, Legos and a soccer net.

I'm pretty sure he loved all of his gifts! We finished off the night with Oreos and birthday interview questions. Here's Caden's answers at 4 years old:

Oh Caden! How is my handsome little boy already 4 years old? You are truly the sweetest boy! We love how thoughtful you are and how you always look out for your sisters. We love watching you learn new things and try new things even though you are a little scared. We love watching you play with Makayla and Brynnli and know they are your best friends. We love your extra detailed stories, your imaginative mind, and your contagious laugh. We love watching you play soccer and seeing how you improve each game. We are so impressed with how well you are doing in preschool and learning your letters. Mommy especially loves how you tell me "thank you" when I tell you I love you. You have brought so much joy to our family and we just can't imagine our family without our little buddy. Happy Birthday to our favorite little Dude!
