Wow, all I can say is Wow….my oldest is 12. I am watching my boys turn from kids to young men. It’s happening too fast!
Little brother “R” decided to give “A” a scavenger hunt first thing in the morning to welcome “A’s” birthday.
Writing up the hints…
Our family tradition is to create a day that the birthday boy wants. This begins with breakfast. This year, ‘A’ requested the same breakfast that “buddy the Elf” had in the movie Elf. We actually had a holiday neighborhood breakfast on ‘A’s birthday, so he decided to wait one more day for his special breakfast. I videotaped it, but it’s too large to post here.
Here is his breakfast: Spaghetti with maple syrup, sprinkles, mini-marshmallows, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, M&M’s, and Frosted Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts.
HE LOVED IT! Once a year, I’m a “yes” mom, and this one really tested my boundaries…
On to ice skating! We went to a place that had both and indoor and outdoor rink. We all skated. It gets a little harder for me each year 🙂
Next stop…”A’s” favorite place on earth….Mikuni Sushi
Mikuni’s has a wheel that you spin on your birthday. ‘A’ won a bag of rice 🙂
We went to a movie. I don’t recall what…
Cupcakes to finish the day…
Happy Birthday to one of the most incredible people I know. This young man is going to take on this world in a mighty way!
