Aiden's Party

Aiden's party was great fun! We enjoyed cake and snacks with family, and our little 4 year old gave us all some good laughs. We were even able to to extend the party into the evening and have Uncle Brady stick around to spend some time with us! We had a great treat this weekend by having Aiden's party coincide with Brady's National Guard weekend and Aunt Carrie's days off from work. We really love having the chance to see the both of them since they moved to that horrible place with all that sunshine and Disneyland. :^)

We can't believe our little guy is 4....and he's really acting like a true little kid, not a toddler. School is his favorite thing in the world right now, but he has so many interests, I can barely keep track! We get compliments nearly every school day about how polite, kind, friendly, cooperative, and artistic he is. His teacher showed me a small pile of ladybugs the whole class had made out of construction paper. She showed me a few of them, saying that they were put together like a typical 4 year old did it (just sort of smattered together) and then she picked up Aiden's. She told me that she was amazed at how careful and precise he was with every single art project - his ladybug was perfectly symmetrical and everything was in the right place! It makes me so happy that we can give him the opportunity to go to such an enjoyable preschool.

Here are some pictures from his party, but if you'd like to see the whole photo album, just click on the title to this blog post.

Opening one of his favorite presents - a truck he can take apart and put back together with a little battery powered screwdriver!

A Thomas the Tank Engine toy! He loves watching the train "bust" through the snow bank!

The main decor for his party - some Thomas the Tank Engine, but also a lot of his artwork from school last year.
