Hayden's birthday party

What a great set of events we had to celebrate this little guy's birthday! On his actual birthday, we took cupcakes and juice to school so his class could celebrate his birthday. They had a sign on the door for him and he was super excited about it! When he got home, he and dad went to Target to pick out a special toy, and then onto the Coliseum for Disney on Ice. It was a great line-up: Cars, Toy Story, Little Mermaid and the fairies. Jay sent me a few pics from the event, and Hayden brought home popcorn and a fun light-up toy!

On Friday some of our dearest friends from the Army came to stay with us for the weekend. Addie was Hayden's first girlfriend (at under year old) and this was the third birthday she was here for. We caught up with them for a few minutes before heading to Monkey Joe's to party!

Hayden was really excited to have his birthday at a "bouncy place". When we got there we dropped the presents and cake off in the room and headed out to play. He was happy to see his cousins, other family, school friends and my friends there to help him celebrate!

He was super excited for cake and presents, and when Monkey Joe himself came in to wish him a happy birthday and bring his "first present". He still reminds me that Monkey Joe gave him the first present, before he opened any others. So cute! After lots of jumping and games and cake, we headed back home with the King girls in tow!

Once we settled in, we had pajamas and pizza and movies and were ready for a sleepover! The kids played, the moms talked and we all went to bed exhausted but happy! Our friends left the next afternoon and we were sad to see them go, but glad they made it out to see us!

I hope Hayden remembers this birthday as one of the best ever!
