Hayden's 2nd Birthday

It has been a few weeks now but on Oct 24 we celebrated Addison's cousin, Hayden's 2nd birthday. It was such a fun time. My sister-in-law Dana, Hayden's mom, is pregnant with her second baby. The gender is a surprise but Dana thinks it is a boy. Who knows? I guess we will be finding out shortly.

Hayden has a super cute Monkey cake. Addison couldn't wait to get a taste! The kids kids decorated pumpkins with plastic face. It is a super cute ideas being that his birthday is so close to Halloween and the kids can't use knives to carve. Last year Addison's pumpkin was a silly/scary pumpkin and this year we made a pumpkin pig. The piggy was really cute complete with curly piggy tail and all.
Hayden enjoyed blowing out the candles, eating cake and opening gifts. Addison hasn't been to many birthday parties so she doesn't know much about candles and opening gifts. I guess we will see how she reacts to it all on her special day. She is however a huge fan of the birthday song and sang it for days after the party.

It is so hard to believe my little nephew is a thriving toddler. I remember his birth day so vividly. I couldn't believe how small he was. I remember holding him and feeling Addison kicking me on the inside. She always kicked when I held another baby. It was almost like she was telling Hayden she would be out shortly to play. Addison has such a love for Hayden. She talks about him all the time. She pretends to talk to him on the phone. I know she will love her two new cousins just as much.

Happy 2nd birthday Hayden. We love you so much and look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you. May you never think Addison has cooties!
