We had Aden's birthday party last Saturday and it was a lot of fun. Although he doesn't officially turn 3 until this coming Saturday, we decided to celebrate early since we will be at the beach house during his birthday. We had a good turnout, it was nice to see all our friends and it's just awesome that we all have kids close to the same age. I can't believe my little guy is almost 3, it went by too fast. We are thankful that he's been the best guy we could ever ask for and he's given us so much laughter in our home. We are amazed everyday at how much he changes and the conversations we have with him are priceless. Darin & I are constantly cracking up at the things Aden says, I just hope that his sister will be as funny as he is. 
Since Aden is so into trains, I decided to try to make him a fun train cake for the party. Well, as usual, I have the best idea, but not the best at implementing it. Luckily, I have the most amazing husband who not only want to be involved in everything but is also the more creative one between the two of us. He baked the cake with Aden (which was a fun treat for the Dean) and after we put him to bed, Darin painstakingly decorated the cake until almost 1am in the morning. I helped a little bit, but not enough to take any credit for how great the cake turned out. Aden loved the cake and it brought tears to my eyes when he ran up to us and gave us a big hug and thanked us for the train cake. The look of awe on his face is just priceless and it was worth the late night and all the work to give him a fun party.
I did make another "healthier" cake (aka less sugar) for everyone to eat. The kids raided the raspberries, especially Aden who just LOVES berries.
Aden enjoyed everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him and blowing out the candle was an added bonus.
The kids partying and dancing to DMB. Aden loved dancing with Julia so much, he asked me if Julia can stay with us and not go home. It's the sparkly dress that got to him...
Jace is a tough little man. He's able to hold his own with the big kids. Look out for him in a couple of years...
Ms. Jade May was not herself that night; must be all the partying...she passed out way too early.
