"I'm Free!" That's code for Three!

Now, pretend it is November... Happy Birthday Aiden! We celebrated Aiden's third birthday in style with a dump truck party. He was so excited for his birthday and talked for weeks about his "towing dump truck," he just knew he was going to get.




Those of you who know me, know I love to bake, and cakes are right at the top of my list. However, with so much going on in our lives at the time, I opted for easy. One chocolate cake, crushed oreos, and one dump truck. Aiden and his friends loved eating the "dirt."


We celebrated in style, complete with the pinata that would never break open. We finally had to tear it apart with our hands. At least all of the kids had ample turns whacking at it.


Aiden blowing out his candles. I hope he didn't get too much spit in the cake.



Aiden got his birthday wish...a "towing dump truck." He was so excited. I don't think it he has let it out of his sight since.


Thanks to all who sent gifts for Aiden's birthday. He would get so excited going to get the mail. Everyday, we would get to the mailbox and he would shout, "there's a present for me." Amazingly, there was often a present for him. He is one lucky boy.

That cake is so cute I may have to copy the idea. Dylan loves construction stuff. Your family is adorable!
