Caden turns 7

Caden turns 7 years old today! Oh if you only knew how much I love Caden and how proud I am of the sweet, strong, and fun loving boy he is turning out to be. 

Caden woke up bright and early on his birthday and immediately ran to see is presents. He told me he could already guess what one of his presents was... I guess Tyler's wrapping job of his new baseball bat was pretty obvious. Caden got to open his new outfit for school that day, but he had to wait until later that night to open the rest of his presents. 

 Caden requested cinnamon rolls for his birthday breakfast.

 He had a great day at school where his was the VIP student. He got to wear his birthday crown all day.

 When Daddy got home from work Caden finally got to open his presents.

 My favorite was his present from Brynn. She got one of her purses and put random toys from the playroom in it for his gift. He was so great as he opened each one.

 And it just melted our hearts when he gave Brynn a big hug and told her thanks.

 Caden got a some toys from us, a new baseball bat and backpack, but his favorite gift of all was.. can you guess? More Legos. He got a police station to add onto his Police set from Christmas.

 After presents Caden chose to go to Red Robin...Yum for dinner. He got his very own ice cream.

 If you know anything about Caden, you know that he loves cake. He especially loves the frosting. We sang Happy Birthday one more time and he blew out the candle and devoured is giant cupcake.

Oh Caden, I wish you knew how much Mom and Dad love you. It's been a challenging year, but you have shown us what true love is. You are so smart and are doing so well in school. We can see how hard you are trying and can't believe how much you have learned this year. You are so kind and are always looking out for others. I love how you know exactly how much money you have and always tell me that you want to spend your money on presents for other people. You are passionate and creative and inquisitive. You are really loving baseball this year and we love watching you play! I love when you wrap your arms around me and tell me that you love me. You always notice when I am wearing lipstick and always tell me that you think I look pretty. I know you will do great things in the future and you will always make mom and dad proud by just being you. We love you so much Caden!
