Aiden's first birthday conveniently fell over Labor Day weekend. I kept debating what to do for his birthday and then decided it was the perfect opportunity to go up to Ocala for the 3-day weekend. We left Saturday morning after stopping at Babies R Us to get Aiden a birthday crown and special outfit (which he wore for all of 30 minutes). So we got up there late Saturday and spent the evening visiting with Brian's family. Sunday we spent the afternoon at barbecue with two giant blow-up water slides for the kids. Hallie had a blast! Her cousin Pauly was there and they played together all afternoon.
After the barbecue, we headed back to Brian's mom's house for Aiden's party. His sister, Nancy, had already decorated the house with the "Spiderman" theme and made a Spiderman cake! Unfortunately, Aiden was tired from his long day and was acting a little cranky. So we decided to do the cake, and Aiden immediately got his second wind! He dug into his all chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and loved every minute of it! I think he would've worked on that cake all night if I didn't insist he needed a bath after 30 minute.
We spent the next day hanging out at Brian's Uncle Jim's house in his pool. Brian finally went swimming with Aiden (it only took a year)! We had a nice afternoon until we had to start the 4 hour drive home so I could go to work the next day. But I can't complain since I didn't have to do any of the driving. I'm so glad we were able to give Aiden a memorable first birthday!
