Happy Birthday, Zaiden!

We celebrated Zaiden's first birthday over this past Memorial Day weekend. We had a big party planned to celebrate his amazing year. He is a big fan of Mickey Mouse (by having a big brother who loves it too!) and we had a Mickey themed party. We were fortunate to host his godparents and their children over the weekend to celebrate with us. We started the weekend with a trip to the beach (just playing  and having a picnic by the lake due to a cloudy/windy day) followed by a party at our place. We had several other children to play with and to help him open presents. Grandma and Grandpa as well as 2 of his aunts also joined the celebration. He was certainly the star of the show when it was his turn to smash his cake. He only needed one lick with a little help from mom to figure out what was happening and realized how much fun (and how yummy the frosting is) when digging in to your own cake!

He loved it! 

Time to clean up!

Beautiful Boy!
