C*A*D*E~8 YEARS OLD

This post is a tiny bit OVERDUE, but it's here nonetheless! I've been trying to include a video along with these pictures, but I can't seem to get it to work...so, I will just stick with pictures.

Yes...UNBELIEVABLE, I know...CADE is 8!!! He continues to bless Mike and I in so many ways. I love his KIND HEART, among many other things!

Cade chose to have his party here at the house. We invited the usual crew...lots of his cousins, as well as a neighbor. He had a great turn out!

On the agenda: OUTSIDE sports games! I'm thankful the weather permitted OUTSIDE play! The kiddos stayed outside the entire time, except for singing & presents...that WAS the plan!

Now, for the pictures:

The invitation:



For the first time EVER, I made the cake! Pretty simple...a baseball!
The plate you see, is a keepsake from Cade's 4th birthday in 2006. I like to have this plate sitting out every year around the time of his birthday.



Cade opening a gift that obviously made him (Drew & Sammy) very HAPPY! I LOVE this picture because I see TRUE JOY when I look at it. As you can see from Cade's attire, he asked for a lot of TEXANS paraphernalia!




After opening gifts, we sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"...



and then ate cake...OUTSIDE!



Thank you very much for those that came to celebrate with us...it is greatly appreciated!
