Captian Aidan that is! Each year I am in awe of how fast time goes by. Five years ago I became a mom, five years ago God entrusted this little baby to me (and Nick :0), five years ago my life began to mean something and five years ago I fell in love in a way that I never thought possible.
Aidan is wonderful kid, he is full of life, he is a clown, he likes to make people laugh, but he is not made of steel, he melts with a mean-look, he loves to snuggle, he love to hug, kiss and take care of his littler brothers and sister. He loves to pretend, one day he is Captain Jack, then the Red Power Ranger, a tiger (which according to him could never be related to a cat!), a T-Rex dinosaur...and the best part is, we all get to play along in his pretending.
We let Aidan pick where we are going to go to dinner tonight and I was shocked (NOT) when he said McDonald's! The Close's are joining us for our gourmet meal at the Crescent City McDonald's.
On Saturday we had a HUGE party for Aidan (which my camera broke 1/4 of the way through)! We all had a blast, Nick built a "pirate ship" in the front yard, the kids all had eye patches, they ran around with plastic swords and pirate bubbles. We opened presents, ate our "treasure chest" cake and demolished the pinata. All in all it was an awesome day, pictures to come!
*Aidan's shirt was painted by a WAHM (work at home mom), she is amazingly talented, if you want her info let me know!

How wonderfully you describe your Aidan... When Aidan was born and I became a grandma for the first time, my life too took on a meaning it had never known...All those cliches about how spectacular it is to be a grandma are absolutely true...as Mike (Aidan's grandpa) always says, Aidan is my "air"...
Happy Birthday, Aidan! It sounds like you guys had a wonderful party for a very wonderful little boy. :) Congratulations on five years of mommyhood (actually, 5 years 9 months ;) ), Steph!
