Camden turns 4!!


Although I am a little late on my birthday post for Camden, I do want to wish him a happy birthday! This year he finally got the concept of his birthday coming up and that he was having a party in our backyard! He was very excited! His birthday came at the end of a very busy month that was full of fundraiser planning (this event was on Nov. 5th-a dinner and carnival and his birthday was on the 6th!). It was hectic, but turned out great. It is such fun to plan a party for a special little boy. He is so full of joy and energy. He loves to laugh and is only beginning to show defiance when he doesn't get his way. He is also very silly! I think he will be the class clown. One little girl in his Cubbies class said that "Camden is silly". It is already happening. But he still fits right between my waist and my neck and it the perfect size for cuddling.
Camden at his preschool birthday-his cupcake had no icing by request! He does not have a sweet tooth!

This year since Toy Story is so big, and that was Camden's first movie in the theatre, we had a Toy Story party. It was complete with a jump castle (we jumped to infinity and beyond-at least until it deflated on the kids!), toy horses so we could ride like the wind, a plinko board for catching the aliens (borrowed from the carnival the night before-being in charge of the carnival has its perks!), and potato head pieces galore to play with. We even planted sweet potato vines in jars decorated with toy story stickers. We had a blast!

Buzz and Woody joined the party! Notice the names on their shoes!Playing Buzz and Woody after the party...Nathan has claimed Camden's present of Buzz wings!

After having such a hectic month of October, it was nice to end the craziness with a fun party to celebrate four years of an amazing little boy!! I love you Camden!
