My son Jaden turned eleven on June 28th.
I was at the end of our global sales conference and out of town for work.
His actual birthday was celebrated with his grandma & poppi.
A wonderful day at the zoo.
He was on cloud nine!
That evening spent at a friends birthday party.
The following day was off to the movies with his dad and brother.
Sunday evening was celebrated with The Meades. Sharing birthday celebrations with Aunts & cousins.

We finally had a “friend party” this past weekend.
Sleepover, laser tag & nonstop laughter.

I just adore this photo…

This was taken the Sunday evening after celebrating with The Meades.
He could not wait to get home and fly his helicopter from his aunt & uncle.

And the crew arrives

Already the two comedians bond and gear up for some silliness and so much laughter.

JJ is truly a joy to be around. Hi

A few of Jaden’s favorite things…
Homemade pizza, root beer, kettle corn, vanilla cupcakes with Lindt chocolate shavings.

Cheers!

The boys after laser tag and dinner they had still lots of energy. Outside they played a few games before cupcakes & ice cream.

Birthday boy was full of joy!
Jaden has surrounded himself with such a wonderful group of friends. They all have such different personalities and together bring such a fantastic energy to be around. They complement each other in such a positive way.

After cupcakes and ice cream the boys rounded up sleeping bags while I made popcorn. They decided on a movie and settled in.

Time for husband and I to enjoy a cocktail and some adult dessert.

I made individual cakes with a Godiva chocolate reduction sauce for the icing. One of our favorite summertime cocktails- skinny girl margaritas.
Cheers to a lovely celebration! Wishing my son Jaden a year of many new adventures and endless joyful moments.
