We had so much fun celebrating Kaine's birthday with him this year! It kind of stinks for the poor kid to have his birthday come right after Christmas, and then this year I was feeling bad for him because on his actual birthday we were packing up and moving back up to Michigan. So his actual birthday was filled with packing up, driving 2.5 hours, and then unpacking! But my level-headed hubby reminded me many times that I did NOT need to feel bad for this kid, who just spent 2.5 weeks filled with grandparents, presents, junk food, and other birthday celebrations. Nathan is good for me :)
So prior to Kaine's birthday, we celebrated in a couple of different ways. First, we had supper at my parents' house and we invited my grandparents and my aunt Susie. That was fun!
(I LOVE this picture of my grandpa and Abel!)
Kaine was able to choose any dessert that he wanted, and he chose...Redi-whip! Haha! He is so funny :)
my dad putting candles in the Redi whip...
Kaine is so funny...after a few bites he decided that he would like to add some ice cream to his Redi whip :)
Then, a couple of days later, we had some of Kaine's good friends over for a party! This was our first time ever doing a party for one of our kids with their friends. It was great! Although Nathan did most of the work :) They started off at the bowling alley (Nathan just took the boys):
And then they came back to Nathan's parents' house (where we were living at the time) for cake, ice cream and games. It was a lot of fun! And again, Nathan gets the credit for the games that the boys played--he is the BEST daddy (and hubby)!
The next night, we did presents with Nathan's parents and grandma. We also celebrated Terri, who had her birthday on the 12th! (Happy birthday, Mom!!!)
Then, when we woke up on Kaine's birthday morning, we found that Nathan's mom had tied these gifts to the ceiling...she made it into a fun game for Kaine where he had to shoot the gift with a dart gun, and then he could open it. What a great idea, mom! Kaine loved that.
See? Nathan was right...I had no reason to feel bad for Kaine that he was somehow missing out on his birthday :) He is one blessed little boy!
One more time...Happy Birthday, Kaine!!
