A special day for "me"

Today was Aidan's birthday party at our house with all his friends. We were frantically getting ready this morning, in hopes that despite the possible 2-4 inches of snow predicted, people would actually come to the party. When it started to snow at 8:30am, Aidan looked out the window and said, "It looks like this is a special day for me." I mean come on birthday party and snow... what more could a winter baby ask for. All the kids invited were from Aidan's "school". They all go to Noah's Ark with him, which is down in Calvert Co. WELL, to our wonderment and surprise they showed up, all except for one.

Aidan's face was like pure happiness when he saw the first car pull in our driveway. And it kept up for the whole 2 hours they were all here. He ran around showing them all his toys and his bedroom. Once they were all here, the first thing he wanted to do is open presents... go figure! Then we did the ninja turtle pinata and then ate pizza and cake. The boy was in total HEAVEN!

Right about the time we were lighting the candles, Aunt Momo, Uncle Wade, Bel, Uncle Mickey and Nana got here. About 20 minutes after they arrived and everyone else left I walked into the kitchen and Aidan was sitting at the table eating his 3rd piece of birthday cake. He says to me, "Hey Mom, Nana's here." I say, "Oh she is? Wow." So funny.

All in all the Ninja Turtle Clubhouse Birthday party was a huge success primarily because our little Aidan was totally thrilled with the turn out!

While I was hanging up the streamers before the party, Aidan looks at me very sincerely, smiles and says, "THANKS, Mom." Awww 4 years old (tomorrow) and still so sweet!

Needless to say after partying and playing in the snow all day he was wiped out tonight. He passed out on the chair in the living room watching a "lost episode" of TMNT.

Man I LOVE this kid!
