Caden's 4th Birthday

We had Caden's 4th Birthday party at the Apex center. Our little man requested a dinosaur theme:) The kids painted, played with homemade floam, got dinosaur tattoos, and ate Jimmy John's and an amazing cake from Das Meyer before swimming! Caden, his buddies, and even the adults had a great time!

Gift Bags that Caden helped me put together for all of his buddies!

Each party bag had a dinosaur mask, plastic dinosaur toy, dinosaur foam stickers, Dinosaur bath toy, caramel apple lollipop, homemade floam, and a dinosaur fossil kit that included a dinosaur skeleton and materials to make a salt-dough fossil:) 

Gift bags and cake at Apex:)

This cake was AMAZING! We got it at Das Meyer, which is a bakery in Arvada known for wedding cakes. It was chocolate cake with Bavarian cream filling.....SO yummy!

Andie, Kira, and Mason painting!

TT and Emmie were loving Andie's paint skills!

Caden and Andie helped me make these water bottle labels - they tore off the ones that came on the bottles and put the glue on the labels we made:)

Cousins! Emmie is two weeks older than Landen but our sweet little guy has a few pounds on his cousin:)

Buddy AL is quite the diver! He and Ethan had a great time:)

Uncle Bry spent most of his day on the big slide with Caden, Justin, Papa, Mason, Chad, and Carter! The big kids had just as much if not more fun that the little ones!

Caden wanted "sports" for his birthday so we got him goals, hockey sticks and pucks, Baseball mitt and balls, a kickball, and some books:)

Can't believe this handsome little dude is 4! 

Justin took Caden to a special lunch on his birthday wherever he wanted.....of course he chose Panera:)

Caden played some Wii with Uncle Brando and we finished his big day with dinner as a family of five - chicken, broccoli, and mashed potatoes as requested by the birthday boy:)

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY CADEN!!!!
