Happy Birthday Hayden!

It's hard to believe that one year ago today our lives changed forever. This year has just flown by and we have loved every minute of it. Hayden has been such a blessing and joy to us. He continues to amaze us everyday with how smart he is, how sweet he is and it is so fun to watch him grow and learn. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with a Monkey Party! We had a bunch of little monkeys over and it was a great time!I made banana cupcakes with chocolate frosting, we had fruit, veggies, spinach and artichoke dip and mini cheeseburgers. I made Monkey Munch for the favors.

Hayden got so many great gifts! Our family and friends just spoiled him! He got a table and chairs for his many future art projects and a wagon that will be so fun this summer to go to the pool in and ride in at the zoo.

He loved his chocolate cupcake! He hadn't really had any sugar before and now I think he's hooked!

Hayden's buddy Josiah, who's birthday is just five days after Hayden's. Michelle and I have been friends since highschool!

Aunt Ashley and the birthday boy!

The presents and the cupcakes were ok, but nothing was as intriguing as the bucket of ice! Hayden woudn't stay out of it, he even fell over the edge once!
He got this big chunk out and held it and sucked on it for so long! He is so silly!
