Happy 5th Birthday Aiden Patrick!!!!

Aiden turned 5 years old today!! I did not want this day to come, Aiden turning 5 is a very sad day for me. It just seems like today is the end of the baby years (jeez I am getting teary eyed just writing that), and now the school years begins. We have enjoyed Aiden's toddler years more than I could ever express in writing. He brings a smile to our face every single day. From the way he giggles when he first sees you in the morning, to the way he loves to be sung lullaby's at night, he fills our hearts. He is eager to please and quick to learn, he has a stubborn streak, (that he gets very honestly from me) a very tender heart towards his girls (me and Ryleigh), and wants to be able to do everything that his Daddy can do. Having a 4 year old has been so much fun, we look forward to what year 5 brings.

Here are a few (not really!) pics from the last 5 years. I can't really say they are my favorite, just ones that I found quickly! It took me all day, a little at a time, to get this done. In between lunch at McDonald's, a trip to the park and making pizza for the big birthday. :)
