Curious George Birthday Party

Saturday we had nearly 30 family & friends over to celebrate Aaden's birthday. It was a packed house, but so much fun! We had homemade pizzas (with all of Aaden's favorite foods like olives, garbanzo beans, red peppers, feta and pepperoni...don't knock it until you've tried it)! We also had some of his favorite fruits, veggies and crackers. I made chocolate cake and cupcakes and my mom helped decorate the cake. Our decorations were all Curious George themed. My favorite being, the t-shirts I made for each of us "Curious Aaden, Curious Sarah & Curious Kristofer".

It was so much fun having all of the babies and kiddos playing together. At one point they were all in a big play pile by the stairs, it looked like little worms all on their tummies. Aaden was a trooper and shared his old and new toys with his cousins & friends. We had been practicing blowing out candles, but when the time came he was happy to stare at the flame (so we all helped out).

That evening the extended family all went out for dinner together. It was a great day. I can happily say, I was able to get the house all cleaned up and all of the new toys put away before the weekend was over. No small feat!

Thanks to all who made the party a success, Aaden is truly loved!
