Last year we were stuck in Florida in an airport on Caleb's birthday. So this year he was excited to have a real party! He planned it himself and it was so cute to hear what he wanted to do. We invited just a few kids from school and the neighborhood. He wanted to have a petting zoo (which was the dogs and cat), a pinata, and a popcorn machine. He had the best time with a simple little birthday party. Love that kid! :-)
 |
| He requested a Captain America and Red Skull cake with them standing on the plane thing from the movie. This was the best I could come up with from what he described. He looked at it and said, "that's not what I asked for." Little turkey...well that's what he got! |
 |
| The birthday gang. |
 |
| To get a good pic, you have to promise a silly one too. :-) |
 |
| Strawberry cake as requested. |
 |
| Every birthday should have a Minion pinata. Hilarious! |
 |
| The crowd cheering everyone on. |
 |
| That thing was hard to bust! We let the big boys (Ethan and Colton) take a few swings at it to get it going then let Caleb finish it off. |
 |
| The present opening at kid parties is always funny to watch. The crowd of kids gets closer and closer to the birthday boy.... |
 |
| A birthday present in the mail from Aunt Nita. :-) |
 |
| His birthday dinner was at Olive Garden...pretty much his request every year. |
 |
| Ethan loves it too! |

Enjoying some birthday cheesecake!

| Oh my Caleb-poo. You have such a sweet spirit and are special in your own quiet way. You're so much like your momma because you don't like to be alone and you're so shy especially in new surroundings. You love to help and you are quick to share. You live off of mac and cheese, chips, pasta, and bologna sandwiches. You're still a momma's boy and I hope you always will be! Love you buddy! |
