This year I asked Jayden what kind of party he wanted, and he said a "CARS donut party!" We had planned on having a jumper and celebrating in our backyard. It ended up raining on the day of his party, but that didn't stop us from celebrating our little boy. We moved all our furniture out of our living room to set up inside.
Each kid had a stamp/sticker CARS kit to entertain them when they got there.
Samuel and Jayden before the party started...two excited little boys!
Gift table
My mom and I made 42 dozen mini donuts! Yep, over 500 mini donuts! I wanted each kid to have their own box of a dozen mini donuts to decorate.
They all had a box with their name on it with their donuts inside.
The kitchen set-up
The icing and sprinkles to decorate the donuts
Each kid had their own shaker...it was a good thing, too! Many of the kids enjoyed eating the sprinkles straight from the shakers! More like "drinking" sprinkles Haha!
Instead of cupcakes, we had donuts!
Jayden would much rather have a donut over any type of dessert.
Talking to Papa about how excited he was for his friends to arrive!
Brady was excited, too!
Jayden's "cake" was a giant donut!
Sticker time!
Auntie Wendee gave Jayden this giant pufferbelly. He named it, "AL"
and has been attached to it every since! It goes everywhere with us!
Hanging out while everyone arrives.
Grandpa gave Jayden this very special clock. He thinks it is super cool!

My little social butterfly, enjoying all his friends.
I let Jayden pick out his own candles this year, and he picked "silly candles."
Can he REALLY be 4 years old already?
Jayden and Nick
The best part of Jayden having little friends is me getting to be friends with the Mommies!
Jayden made sure to take the time to entertain everyone...
he was playing peekaboo with Grant.
Logan, Jayden, and Lucas

Amy and her boys
Steph enjoyed decorating the mini donuts, too! :)
One happy little boy!
The kids did so well on the mini donuts!
The younger ones were a little overwhelmed by so many people and
enjoyed hanging out with their dads!
I'm not sure if you remember me posting pictures about "Mr. Motorcycle Man",
but you can read about it here...
Well, when I asked Jayden who he wanted at his party, "Mr. Motorcycle Man" was on the list! We dropped off an invite to him and "Miss Melissa" (his daughter) one day. They were so excited over it and thought a donut party was such a cute idea. They ended up coming!!!!
Jayden was SO SO SO excited that he came! I thought it was so sweet of them. We have become friends with their family because of Jayden, and they are so special to him.
(they say the same about J)
More presents...
Logan was reading Jayden's cards to him, so sweet! One card said, "You are a gift from God." Logan read it, then Jayden interrupted, "WOW! It's a card from GOD, Logan!" :)
Uncle Micah had to work during the party, but came over after with a very cool gift...
a remote control police car!
dPlaying with Playdoh
That night, we continued our tradition of letting the birthday boy pick where he wanted to go for dinner. He wanted to eat in the "train car" and the "Spaghetti-O Factory!"
Brady was happy with that idea!
We had to split up since only 4 fit in the train cars.
We did sticker books to keep us entertained!
(a must in restaurants! Dollar Tree!)
Jayden enjoyed his favorite dinner...spaghetti!
Goofed off with Daddy
And enjoyed a special birthday song and treat!
Listening to everyone sing!
Happy Birthday Big Boy!
We love you, Jayden!
You bring so much joy to so many people. You have a huge, loving heart and a kind spirit. You love to learn, know your letter names and sounds, love to do "homework" and are becoming a pro at addition. You amaze me daily and I am so thankful for you. You are very active and love to be outside. Your favorite places to go are Disneyland, Cubbies, Sunday School, and Story Time. You are a great big brother, and love to teach Brady all the things you know. So proud of you, buddy! Mommy loves you to the moon and back!
