Caden's First Birthday!!!

My precious Caden,

A year has gone by since you joined our family, and what a wonderful year it has been. You were such a "surprise" to us when we found out you were on the way. Like always, the good Lord knew what he was doing when he gave you to us. You are such a tender, sweet, and loving little boy. You love to cuddle and give kisses and you have the sweetest smile. You have been so easy going and definitely fit right into our family and I can't imagine what our life would be like without you. You love your older brother and you are the best of friends! We can't wait to see what this next year holds for you as you become more independent. We pray for all of your dreams and wishes to come true. Thank you for completing our family and making us happier than we ever thought we could be. We are so proud of you!!!
We love you!
Mommy and Daddy

We celebrated Caden's first birthday with just family and a few close friends here at the house. I was anxious to see how Caden reacted to his cake and to see if he would dig right in. He was very reserved and was not a big fan of getting dirty or even eating the icing or cake. We can just say that he is not a big fan of sweets right now...maybe that will change. He definitely gets that from me and not his daddy. Caden enjoyed opening his presents and playing with all of his cousins and friends. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate our baby's first birthday. It was a special day and we are so thankful for all of you!
