8 is great!

That was the theme of today.  Eight is great!  Caden was so excited he woke up at 4:30 this morning to tell me it was his birthday.  Lol. Jimmy worked nights so he surprised Caden with donuts for breakfast and we let him open his gifts.  He has been talking about the giant pixie stick his teacher would give him since meet the teacher.  He was proudly waving it around when I picked him up.  

We had family over for pizza and cake.  Cici's was Caden's choice.  BBQ pizza and Mac-n-cheese was his pick.  (Yuck). We all had a great time.  Apparently I had a really good time, because I forgot to take one single picture.  Even though I hate it when that happens it just means I was really living in the moment.  Sometimes I get so worried I might miss getting a photo of a memory I miss being an actual part of the memory.  

Caden said he had a wonderful day.  How could turning 8 not be great?  I am beyond blessed to be this little boys mom.  Happy birthday Caden!
