Birthday #10

We had a great time on J's birthday on Friday!  I am thankful that because we home educate the kids that I could be with him all day on his birthday and even take him to his favorite place for lunch - Taco Bell!  His daddy made a special trip home on his lunch break to see him, too.  That afternoon we brought snickerdoodles for the snacks at our 4H meeting, as a special treat. This was also a meeting where everyone brought a project to work on and the boys all brought Lego kits.  Some friends even brought him a small, new Lego kit for his special day!  That evening we let him open our gifts and just "chilled" at home.

Saturday, after basketball games we headed to Rascal's Fun Zone and had a birthday celebration there.  We rode go-karts on the indoor tracks, played mini-bowling, had pizza, cake, and ice cream, J opened his gifts, then we played in the arcade.  It was very clean, organized, and fun.  We had several of his cousins, aunts, and uncles at the party and three of his really good friends.  The grandparents were sad that they could not make it because two were sick and two were stuck in bad weather, but we had fun for them!  :)  There was lots to do, everyone stayed busy having fun together, and new birthday memories were made!
