He has an affection for balls like no other, so with that, we themed his birthday, BALLS! Our backyard was filled with blow up balls (still is, now that I think of it...). What an easy and colorful way to decorate. He repeatedly said, "ball" all day while pointing and smiling. If he could talk, aside from his few choice words; one being "ball", I think he would have given his birthday a double thumbs up with lengthy commentary on his brother stealing all his presents, eating his cake, and snagging as many balls as he could carry away from his reach.

The greatest part of Cade's birthday is (and always will be) that he and his Aunt Beth celebrate together. When we were pregnant, for Beth's early birthday, our OB gave us this sealed card to give to Beth from future baby. She was the only person who knew the gender of the baby until delivery day. I'd say this was the best one-of-a-kind birthday present we could have ever given!
And now, one year later, here they are celebrating their birthdays together - and will for years to come! Brock and Cade are lucky to have their Aunt close by and they both love her dearly (we all do!).
Happy first birthday, Cade! It's been a whirlwind year adjusting to you in our lives. We love you so much and can't imagine life without you. Cheers to many more special birthdays for our special boy.
