Aiden's First Birthday Party

We had a pretty simple celebration for Aiden's first birthday, family and had invited Aiden's playgroup buds but sadly only one could make it. One friend is at the beach right now and the other got sick. Luckily at one they don't care so much. Aiden had a great time today and loved all the laughter.

In the morning, we gave him our gift, an indoor playground. Aiden is not drawn to opening gifts, so of course Owen was happy to help him learn. Aiden LOVED it and both boys had a blast playing together.

Then the party began. Aiden enjoyed playing with the balloons and seeing so many happy faces surrounding him. We enjoyed a pizza, salad, and fruit lunch and everyone got to see Aiden chow down his food.

The singing Happy Birthday was as expected. Aiden looked around the room at everyone with the classic deer in headlights look. I told Owen he could blow the candle out beforehand as Aiden would have no idea how to. Owen quickly blew it out. After some pause of what to do, Aiden and Owen wanted to grab the balls off the cake. Aiden got a basketball, Owen the football and Nicholas the soccer ball. Yummy! Aiden enjoyed the cake a lot.

I thought he would get more into opening gifts, but the first one he pulled the tissue paper out and then walked off. Big brother stepped in to help. They opened some together and Owen opened some on his own. Aiden didn't care so much and once he figured out good stuff were in these bags, he got a little more interested. It was cute! Aiden and Owen enjoyed playing with his new stuff the rest of the day.

We are thankful to everyone for celebrating our baby's first birthday. Happy Birthday Aiden!
