Aiden’s 2nd Birthday Party Was A Huge Success
We threw Aiden a birthday party this weekend, even though he doesn’t turn “2″ until next weekend (we had it early because next weekend is Labor Day and people might be out of town). Aiden had a sports-themed party, complete with a White Sox baseball birthday cake, a basketball hoop in the yard, and decorative pennants for all sorts of sports. Aiden’s favorite word (next to “Uh oh!”) is “Ball”, so sports seemed the way to go this year.
The weather channel said that it was going to rain on Saturday, so we had made alternate plans to pile everyone into the house. Luckily, there was no rain. The sky did darken a little bit, but that was kind of nice because it cooled things down (it had been muggy and powerfully hot all day). Timely, that was when we let Aiden open his presents in the back yard. He got plenty of birthday gifts, but he really wanted to run off and play towards the end. Just a few more presents to open, buddy!
Everyone had a good time, especially Aiden. The only ones who didn’t appreciate the party were the group of hornets that took up residence on our deck. Chrissy noticed them in the morning and her dad “relocated” them (to hell).  Thankfully, they were gone before guests started to arrive. There were a lot of little kids over that day, and bees would have complicated things.

So, how about sending some of that cake over to Scotland? Happy Birthday Aiden!
Sorry, I ate it all! Well, I shared a little bit of it with Aiden.
You never can tell how big of a cake to get. We got a full sheet cake last year, and ended up with leftovers for a week. We only got a half sheet this year, but almost ran out!
