Ayden's 5th Birthday

It is so hard to believe that 5 years ago, you were born. Where does the time go? This day has been full of laughter, fun, family, friends and a few sad moments of realization that my baby boy is not a baby anymore. You tell me this all the time but it is so hard to imagine. We went to the fair this afternoon with Ally Brynn, Daddy, Nana, Mamaw (Cheryl Walling), Big Daddy (Wayne Walling), Carley, Parrish, Kylee, Kylee's GiGi, Robin Mack, John Mack, Davis Mack, Aunt Debbie, Laken, Clay, Michelle Stillinger and Skylar Stillinger. What an event....you were running around with a smile that was bigger than your face. We rode the roller coaster and slid down the big slide. Once all the tickets were gone, we headed to the house for some hot dogs, cupcakes and ice cream. MiMi, Mammy Jackie, John David, Papa, Annie, Pa, Uncle Ken, Jodie, Kristy and Jake Edmonds, Julie, Lydia and Ansley Riley, Bailey Syl and Andi Jameson, Anna Sanders and J-Bird, Keith Stillinger, Sunny and Richie, Chi and Bert, Chuck and all the gang from the fair all helped us celebrate your special day. You opened your presents and were so excited over all of the wonderful gifts you were given. One, you insisted on opening right away - a batman costume from Mommy and Daddy. Daddy took you in the bathroom and helped you get it on. Mommy went out and informed all of your guests that we had a special visitor come for your birthday.....BATMAN. You came out in full Batman mode...posing and taking pictures with the girls. You were ADORABLE and the girls LOVED it! You even made the whole group sing the bithday song over because we all said Happy Birthday to AYDEN and you were not Ayden at that time. SO we all sang Happy Birthday to BATMAN! :-) Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness into our lives. You will always be my baby! Just like our favorite book (I'll love you forever) says,
I'll love you forever
I'll love you for always
As long as I'm living
My baby you'll be!

P.S.
You asked me if I thought Daddy would share his clothes with you because you are getting sooo big. You are too much. :-)

I love you AD Bug and Happy 5th Birthday,
Mommy
