Aiden's 2nd birthday party!

Aiden's birthday is on Monday so we celebrated with his party today! We talked all day about Aiden's Elmo party and all the presents he would get...Aiden was SO excited for his party! We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family to enjoy the day with us. Obviously, a 2 year old doesn't care as much about his party then we do to have one for him =-) but we try and keep it simple and enjoy the day. Of course, the battery on my camera died before the end of the day, but at least I got some good photos. I didn't get any of Aiden and his friends, but I will try and get copies of the ones Nathan's grandpa got. We had the same person who made Aiden's cake last year do a cake again this year...she is INCREDIBLE!! She did her research and we allowed her to bring whatever she thought would make a cool Elmo cake...she ended up replicating the "Elmo's World" room from Sesame Street in the form of a cake with Elmo holding the two candles!!!!! The cake tasted delicious too!!!!

Aiden got lots of fun outdoor toys from everyone including a bubble making lawnmower! I was very excited because just that morning we saw a little boy pushing his lawnmower behind his dad and I said "we have GOT to get him one!!" He loves to watch Nathan mow the lawn!! He got a few bigger gifts from us...a McQueen chair and a plastic picnic table.

He also got a Power Wheel Harley from his Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma, and Great Grandpa. Watching him cruise around the park on his new toy made me realize just how big he is getting!!!! He figured it out quick...still working on the steering, but he was having a blast!!

I didn't get the greatest pictures of us during the party...at least nothing special, but we had a great day!!! HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY AIDEN! We love you!!!
