The big day came! He has been talking about it since March 1!
He was so happy and excited!
He enjoyed helping with the pancakes.
He also enjoyed being the first one to make animals on them.
He picked cookies and cream ice cream!
He asked for an ice cream cake from Grandpa and Grandma Nichols.
It was super delicious!
A cookie crumb crust and different ice cream flavors,
caramel and homemade fudge sauce,
covered with Cool Whip!
Kevin gave him a knife for earning his Webelo badge.
The new tradition is to read some stories right when Grandma and Grandpa get there.
They all take turns reading to each other.
And Dad does some wrestling.
Then it was cake and present time.
There were so many candles I decided to turn off the lights.
It was neat.
Lego set from Grandma and Grandpa Nichols.
We finally got him Hardy Boys #6 - had to order online because the store never has it.
3 LARGE York Peppermint candies -
he loves them but has only every had the little ones.
Mud boots - over all just getting messy but staying warm boots.
He asked for these.
Molecule building set - he sort of asked for this one.
I thought it would be fun to see the compounds we've been talking about in school.
Marissa and Emily made him some gifts.
I thought that was nice of them.
Here he is with the finished Lego crane.
He's showing that it only took him an hour to build it.
It was a very nice day. We had school and then they did some wood in the afternoon. We enjoyed cheese raviolis for dinner, with store bought alfredo sauce, and garlic bread.
It is always fun to focus just a bit extra on each child. He's a fun kid, with loads of creative ideas, and loves to play with his sisters. He enjoys building with Legos, playing in the snow, hauling wood, and helping around the house. He loves to read about World War 2 and other war topics, guns and planes and tanks and that kind of stuff. I can't believe he's 11! Love you buddy!
