Party preparations

are under way! We are planning a bowling birthday party for Caden who turns four next Tuesday. We've reserved the bowling alley's party room and 2 lanes with bumpers and Daddy will print our homemade invites tomorrow at Kinko's. Caden's inviting Tegan (cousin), Brock, Christie, and Nick (family friends), Luke, Tanner, and Grayson (friends from preschool), Uncle Tim and Aunt Melissa, Cane Papa and Grandma, Truck Papa and Grandma, and Shannon and Dan (his godmother and her boyfriend). We ordered bowling themed plates and napkins and a special balloon from an online company, Birthday Direct. We still need to figure out the cake and a gift for the birthday boy. Caden will have 2 small celebrations and his big party. Because his actual birthday is on Tuesday this year we'll have a special dinner and cake on his birthday, plus he'll get to take birthday treats to preschool that day. Then we'll have his big bowling bash on the following Saturday! We just showed him on the calendar how many days (only 6 left) until his birthday. He's getting excited and I'm getting nervous about having 6 3-5 year olds bowling!
