8 is great!

i've spent the last half hour or MORE - looking through photos of Jayden from birth to present.  and all i can think about is how FAST the time has flown by!  he's getting so big!  i told him last night as he went to bed - this is your last kiss as a 7 year old. 


the birthday tradition - a breakfast bar and a candle

so happy it's his birthday!

no birthday is complete in our house without the Dutch version of Happy Birthday (sung by all but especially by Helen!)





he picked out the design of the cake



i love Helen's face in this photo



yum!  birthday cake!  jayden requested hot dogs, mac n cheese, strawberries, and applesauce for dinner tonight.

and now for some photos of my sweet Jayden....
