Birthday Madness - Part I

Having two birthday parties in one weekend was interesting and really not too chaotic. I mean just the normal craziness that is the Reid's! On Friday night, Caden had his "friend" party. He got to have 5 boys over celebrate. This was hard for him to pick 5, but it worked. We had a little cooking party for my chef and we cooked up a storm!

We began the evening by being properly dressed as little chefs! I made each boy an apron with their name on it, they seemed to like them!
Here is the crew (minus Sam - we missed you buddy) modeling their aprons.
Then we made our own pizzas. I got big biscuits and they mashed them flat and added some pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Caden and Grady making their pizzas.
Carter got in on the action and had a blast being with the "big" boys.
While those were baking, we decorated our own cupcakes. Cory gave each boy some icing and then they got to add sprinkles, M&M's or Skittles. We had some pretty messy creations!
Then it was time to eat and eat they did! The pizzas were a big hit as were the cupcakes!
Singing to the Birthday Boy!

They all had a great time so it was a success!

Kara,

Such cute pictures, and I love the idea of a 'chef' party! How creative with the little pizzas and everything--I just may have to steal that idea! :-)

Caden looks so big. Ugh. Cole too. Where is that baby hiding these days?

And I love the cakes you had made. I thought that was a really good idea to make one big one for both of them, but to have two separate ones too--one for each boy. We will have two Oct. birthdays coming up--Col and Cam--and then, once the baby is born we will have two back to back in January as well. It is hard to ask people to come once and then come a week later, so we will probably do a lot of combined parties over the years. I think with the cakes like that, it just makes it a little more personal for each child. Love it!

The pics are so cute. Glad it was a great time for you all!
