Aiden's 3rd birthday party!

The morning of his party, we were just playing around and he came up with the idea of wrapping him in plastic wrap! Being as how that very act was both his and my birthday wish, I said "SURE!" and wrapped the little guy up!
And then he was done and wanted me to let him out all too soon! So I snapped some more pictures instead!

Here are some pics of Aiden's birthday party last week. We had a great time. I think I planned way too much for just a few hours though! Plus, I had planned for it to be in our clubhouse but forgot to pay the HOA so they didn't come to unlock the door for us... leaving me scrambling around trying to figure out what to do! It actually worked out better going to the playground and having the kids play a little. So, all in all, it worked out better than planned!

For some reason he was scared or something. He gets that way every now and then when all the attention is on him. So I was trying to help him blow out his candles here... he wouldn't do it!

This was the cake I made for him. It was really fun to make truly. I actually enjoy doing that kind of stuff. I just think it's fun to make on every now and then for their birthday's because it's a memory that I always loved when my Mom would make our cakes. And it saves money! Win win situation there, right!?

Aiden got a bike from us and he loves it! He isn't too bad on it either.

This was the sea of presents that so many people graciously gave... and I feel terrible for! I really didn't mean for there to be so many and he really didn't need to be given so much. I think next year I am going to tell people to not worry about gifts. Not that it isn't appreciated, it's mostly just that he has way too many toys in the first place! But it was really nice and we are grateful to have so many great friends and family.
