Kaden's 5th birthday

January 3rd our sweet Kaden would have been 5 years old.  Happy Birthday Kaden!  We love you and miss you.  Right after we lost Kaden, my dad had me talk to a sister who had also lost a child.  This sweet girl gave me some great advice.  She advised me to "keep Kaden alive".  So each Christmas we hang up Kaden's stocking next to ours.  We talk about him and we celebrate his birthday with an animal cake. 

This year the twins were so excited to have another birthday party.  Micah helped me pick out the design for the cake.  Savannah helped make the frosting.  And they both decorated it all by themselves.  As a special treat to went to Applebees for lunch and then came home for the cake.  We sang to Kaden, blew blow horns, and then played with balloons.  At the end of the day I show the twins Kadens book and talked to them about their brother. It was a sweet day.

 



While we were sitting around the table Micah asked, "Is Kaden going to eat any of his cake?"

Savannah said, "No Kaden is in heaven."

Micah said, "Let's save him some."
