Caden's Birthday - Day 1

I think our family must have the happiest pi day since we have such a special little guy to celebrate! The birthday boy awoke to a wall made of fun new bricks set up by his daddy the night before, all ready to be demolished at his whim:

The bricks were a big hit!  They got played with all morning long and I really liked the birthday boy having something to play with during the day since he wasn't going to get to open the rest of his presents 'til that evening.  It's hard to wait like that when you're just turning two!

Daddy's home!

Finally time to open presents (note bricks still being played with in background):

Caden loves Playmobil and I was so excited to find this set for him!  I totally remember having this one and loving it when I was a kid and Jake remembers they had it, too.  We also got him the western stagecoach set, another favorite of mine (note Joshua assembling it behind Caden):

I found this super cute felt sandwich-maker set and just had to get it.  We've all played with it, it's so much fun! 

I thought this was so cute, Lucas made a sandwich to feed Caden's new emperor penguin puppet!

...bricks still being played with...

Caden devoured his slice of pie.  We'll see how he feels once he's old enough to have an opinion, but so far he thinks it's a great 3.14 birthday tradition! 

Sweet Caden we love you so much!  We can't imagine our family without you.  We want you to feel special and loved always.  Thank you for going through this journey of life with us and for being excited about it!
