Aedan turns 5!

Aedan turns 5!  Wow!  I can't believe it!  His birthday fell on a Thursday so I had CBS that morning.  Ryan stayed home with Aedan and Mercy.  The original plan was for me to take Mercy with me, but she was (and still is a little) sick.  On Wednesday she fell asleep at 9:30 in the morning, and then again at noon.  Poor girl!  So, I couldn't bring her with me:(  I left CBS early and met Ryan and the kids at Chili's for lunch.  (Aedan's choice)  Mercy was feeling overall better, so Ryan thought she could handle going out for a bit.  After lunch, Ryan took Aedan bowling.  I took Mercy home and put her down for a nap.  (I enjoyed a quiet time reading about and listening to Andrew Peterson's new album, which came that day.)  After picking Josiah up from school, the boys ate a little snack, and then we headed to Aedan's baseball game.  (see next post)  After the game, we took the boys to McDonalds.  They enjoyed chicken nuggets and fries, and playing, of course.  We went home after dinner to open presents and to eat some cake and ice cream.  I think he had a good day:) 

 

His last night of being 4:(  I cannot stop time.

Sweet Boy!  We love our little slugger!

Aedan also got a booster seat (FINALLY)!  Long overdue!!!!  If you sent Aedan birthday money, then your money (or part of your money) went to pay for a portion of this seat!  He is VERY excited about it!!!!!  Thank you!!!!!!

Mercy likes the seat, too.  She has a few years till she gets a new seat:)

Happy Birthday, Aedan.  We love you!
