Mommy Dana says, and I totally agree, that these cookies she decorated are her little boy on a plate:  sports-obsessed all wrapped up in lots of sweetness!

That's our Kaden!  

Apparently when talking about what he wanted for his birthday, Kaden said anything but Legos.  He "doesn't have time" (his words!) for Legos!  That's because pretty much every waking minute when he's not in school he's doing something sports-related.  This child does not have the desire to sit still long enough to do Legos.

Kaden with Gran-Gran...that is the best posed smile we got out of him all day! He's just at that age...

His three siblings and three Gray cousins were just as excited about Kaden's party as he was.  Kaden had plenty of help opening his gifts!

A new batting helmet!  Baseball season is just around the corner...

Older brother Karter and Kaden helped Dana make a delicious ice cream cake!

A few more photos from the birthday bask...

Uncle Kamaron (with 5-month-old cousin Juni) and Uncle Kyler...

Cousin Krew will be turning two in just a few days...

...with cousin Abram not far behind, turning two in about 6 weeks.

Grandpa Kenny with Juni-bug...

A boy can never have too many basketballs!

The batting helmet was a hit with all of the kids!  Abram...

...Kassie...

...and Kelsey, who even refused to take it off for the family birthday photo.

How cool is this?!  A basketball goal trash can!

And a brand-new 7 1/2' driveway goal (when Daddy Kristoffer gets it put together)!

Krew worked the room and begged bites of ice cream cake from pretty much everyone.  Hard to refuse that cutie-pie!

Abram is also learning to be very "cooperative" when the camera comes around! He purposefully closed his eyes when I decided to take his picture...little stink!

That cute baby bump on Kara is our next grandchild, who will be arriving in April.

It'll be interesting to see how Abram reacts to his new brother or sister.  He didn't quite know what to think about his cousin Juni....

Uncle Kamaron and Uncle Zach in a thoughtful discussion...

Krew-man puzzling...

Aunt Emmy snuggling Juni...

Mommy Dana has a very popular lap....

Papaw smooching Abram...

Daddy Kristoffer looking good, and Kelsey being uncooperative Kelsey...

Aunt Kara with Kassie (and, of course, Clifford)...

Good family times celebrating a sweet little boy!

Hard for us to believe that...

...Kaden's six!
