Happy 5th Birthday Kade!

WOW!! I can't believe my little baby is already five years old. Where is the time going? He is growing up so fast. Kade is a wonderful little boy. He fills our hearts with so much love and joy. He has grown very independent, that is for sure. Sometimes Dane and I think he is too smart for his own good. He has an answer for everything and a question for everything. He always wants to know more. On his actual birthday, which was October 22nd, we had the family over for chicken and dumplings. Nana and Papa Rau, Popo Loewe, Aunt Lolo and Uncle Joe, and the Hardy family came over for a little celebration. We sang "Happy Birthday" and had some ice cream cake. After cake, Kade opened his presents, and he loved them all.

On Halloween morning, Kade celebrated his birthday along with three of his best buddies, Ian Stelter, Dawson Dreahn, and Eric Acshenbeck. They all turn five around the same time. We threw a party for them out at the "Rogas Party Barn." We invited a bunch of their friends from school as well as some close family friends. Being that it was Halloween, we went with that theme and threw a costume party. We had a great turnout and an extroidinary day for a party. All the kids looked adorable in all their costumes. I think Kade thoroughly enjoyed his 5th birthday. We wish him many many more future birthdays, and you can bet we will continue to celebrate each and every one of them. Happy Birthday Kade Alan!
