Happy Birthday Kaden!

Five years ago today, my life was forever changed for the better:-) Today I am celebrating my son Kaden's 5th birthday.  He brings me so much joy everyday and we have so many awesome moments together. Today he is having two celebrations, one that I planned at his school and another one when he gets home. YAY!  And that means three sinfully delicious cakes.  We love Costco cakes! Those are the best! So I got him a Costco cake for his school party and since he is a Power Ranger Samurai fanatic, I got him a Power Ranger Samurai cake from the bakery to have for his home celebration. I also made him a delicious cake from scratch to have at home.  When I was a kid, my mother made all of our cakes. In fact, I don't recall very many bakery cakes growing up because my mother always made them.  

I have fond memories of those homemade cakes, so for that reason I also make my son's cakes. Even if I get a bakery cake, he can always count on a homemade cake from  mom lovingly baked in the kitchen. I don't think anything compares to whipping up that batter, walking into a house that smells like sugar and love:-) And then taking that first bite of moist fluffy cake and rich homemade buttercream frosting. Do you agree?  And now I have lots and lots of photos to share.  This is going to be a photo heavy post dedicated to my amazing son!

This was my son's first Halloween. Awwwwwwww

 We are on the way to a restaurant for dinner and my angel is asleep smiling. Believe it or not, he is really asleep:-)

We are about to have a sumptious dinner!

Kaden and his Godmom:-)

Kaden was too full to enjoy his complimentary dessert. A big ol chocolate chip cookie warm from the over with a scoop of ice cream. Um. guess who had to eat it for him...LOL

 When we got home, Kaden was able to indulge in this delicious homemade rainbow cake nestled on a bed of colored sprinkles.

My son was absolutely thrilled with the cake I made for him:-)

Kaden had an amazing birthday! Thank you for letting me share it with you:-)
