Fourth Birthday Party

For Caden's fourth birthday, we decided to have a small party at our house. We'd grill hotdogs, eat cupcakes, and play outside.

Before the party, the kids opened presents from the family. Here are a few of their presents.

We are ready for a party to start.

Aunt Angela made a happy birthday sign.

The kids would eat in the kitchen and the adults would eat, well, anywhere else.

We planned to spend most of the party outside. We were a little worried about rain but it ended up being a beautiful day.

 We had games setup throughout the yard.

Here is Caden playing some baseball with Grandpa. Caden hit this one really close to the camera as I was taking a picture.

And of course, we had the playscape for everyone to play on.

 Baby George was excited to be in the playscape with the big kids.

 Here is the food Amy planned. Uncle Michael manned the grill and cooked up some good hot dogs.

 

Caroline insisted on sitting close to her big cousin Ella.

It was time to sing Happy Birthday.

Amy planned for the kids to decorate their own cupcake. This was a great idea and was a huge success.

Caden was looking forward to his cupcake. It was about to be covered in sprinkles.

Caroline covered her cupcake in gummy bears.

My favorite kid decorated cupcake was this one. Do you think she got enough candy?

Here is the best cousin picture I managed to take. George wanted to go play and Will thought, "if George doesn't have to stand here, why should I?"

We opened presents on the patio. It was too nice a day to go inside for this.

The kids fourth birthday party was a ton of fun.
