4th Birthday

We spent the entire weekend before Aidan's birthday partying. Friday was mama's birthday, so we had everyone over to celebrate it.

Aidan being as happy as he could be helping Nana blow out the candles (he was not this happy for his own birthday!):


We had Aidan's party at home on Saturday. We always plan far in advance for the theme of the party, and hope he doesn't change his mind before his birthday arrives. I guess we didn't talk enough about his birthday, because when he woke up and we told him "Today is your birthday party!!" he said "Already?" We decorated in Little Einstein's stuff and had a low key day until everyone came over. We wanted everything to be simple so we could spend lots of time with Aidan, so we just picked up Smithfield's for supper rather than cooking. Aidan didn't mind one bit! Hushpuppies!!!



Amy, Amber, Eddie, Laura, Rick, Tyler, and Andy's Dad:


Andy's mom, mama, and Mer. Had a time getting them all to smile at the same time! This one turned out though!


Aidan loves these little blow things:


Rick showing Tyler and Andy's dad something on his phone. Must have been interesting.

Our little family!


Aidan getting ready to blow out the candles. He was not excited at all, which meant I was really disappointed! He took a nap earlier in the afternoon and was just out of sorts when he woke up. Andy and I finished the cake while he was asleep, and I just knew he would be excited when he saw it. Nope, he wanted to be a little difficult!



We didn't get the supports completely right for the cake, so we had to move fast before the weight got the best of it!


Leigh Anne started singing a silly song to him, and he finally started loosening up a little bit!


He was quite excited about the pinata!



Doing his little happy dance!

Giving it his best shot



It just wouldn't break, so Dada joined in.


Intense onlookers:


I ended up being the one to get it open

Time for presents, and again, he isn't really all that excited!



Until he sees this!

Now we have one happy birthday boy!


Trying it out on the sidewalk before going up to the road (notice Jake in the background with the Indian headdress Aidan got from Tweetsie)

Taking it for a spin!!
