Happy 1st Birthday Aiden Kither

Wednesday was Aiden's 1st birthday!  I can't believe he is now one year and one week old.  Josh and I didn't want to have a huge birthday party this year.  We were just going to keep it simple (I'm saving all my good birthday ideas for when Aiden is a little older and will remember).  It ended up being a little bigger than planned but nothing like you see some parents do.  We just had a few family members and a couple friends over to our house for dinner and cupcakes.  Aiden looovvedd his cupcake!  Here are a ton of pictures of his special day.

This isn't from his party but this was his first cup of real milk!  He loves it! (thankfully)!!

Guest-  Uncle Marcus, Pops, Jules (my dad's college roommate who has remained a close family friend), and Jenna

Grandma

This is how I clean Aiden up after most meals.  I don't really like a mess so I pick him up by all fours and carry him to the sink.  

And then...
