Caden Birthday & Trunk or Treat




We all ate breakfast and then Caden opened presents!






Lucky boy got to eat Oreos for his breakfast dessert thanks to Grandma and Grandpa. :)






Opening presents is so fun at this age!




This little roller coaster (known as "coaster ride" around here) may have been the favorite present this year. We spent most of the day just playing with all his new toys.




The Cake


I really had a lot of fun making this one! Caden loved it! He called it his "Happy Cake" and even helped me bake the cakes for it.













Trunk or Treat



See those Nerds he's eating? We had to bribe him with those so he would let us put the costume on him. :)




Now that's the cutest little sock monkey dressed like a pumpkin that I've ever seen!










I'm not sure why this pic wants to be sideways. But he's admiring the painted pumpkin on his hand.







It was all about the suckers for him. He could've cared less about the other candy. I think by the time we made it around to all the cars he had gone through at least five suckers already. Ok, so perhaps that's how I bribed him to keep walking. He caught on pretty fast and would stop as soon as he finished a sucker. The little guy wouldn't budge until he got another. But all I can say is YAY for suckers! :)


The After Party


After the Trunk or Treat we convinced some friends to come over and eat birthday cake with us. Thank goodness they came because I think I made 3 and a half batches of cake for it! It was fun though and Caden enjoyed having friends over to play.
