Jaden turned 5!

It's crazy to think that Charles and I have been parents for 5 years now. Even crazier to see how much Jaden has grown. Jaden has been looking forward to turning 5 for a couple years now, and the past few weeks have been constant birthday talk... "When I turn 5 I want to have a BIG party." .... "When I turn 5, I want Smoker Man for my birthday. I want good guys and bad guys." .... "When I turn 5 I'll be big enough to go to Kindergarten."..."I want a real car for my birthday." On and on and on. We're already hearing plans for his 6th birthday.

Well, we celebrated his birthday on Sunday at my Mom and Dad's house. Great Grandma, Great Grandpa MacKay and Alli were also there, along with Kare and Curtis via web cam.



The fun began with Jaden's favorite Sunday dinner (pot roast), and then we headed outside for the pinata!

After a bunch of failed attempts at cracking it open with the bat, Jaden resorted to using his karate chops and kicks!

Next Jaden opened his presents... sorry.. no real car, and no Smoker Man. But he DID get a pair of soccer goals, a robot, a bike, and more. (He's so lucky!) Here is a video of Jaden dancing with the music from his robot.



Bradley was quite intrigued with watching Jaden move.


After presents we did the cake. Jaden is starting soccer this month, so he decided to have a Soccer theme.


Kaleb honored us with his rendition of the Happy Birthday Song....



And then we all sang to him.
Happy Birthday Jaden!!
