Happy 11th Birthday Soccer Boy!

We celebrated Soccer Boy's birthday last week so I thought I'd post some pics...

Soccer Boy's birthday fell in the middle of the week this year so we had the cake and candles the weekend before with the grandparents.  Our family celebrated on his actual birthday at home, he asked if he could get out of homeschooling for the day (nice try, but no).  It was great to see his brothers give him birthday gifts on their own that they had bought for him or made themselves.  Game Boy gave him one of the halo guy toys he had received for Christmas (it made my heart melt)!  They wrapped them too, so I was really impressed.  His other set of grandparents stopped by and brought Game Boy some homemade cupcakes.

Then the following Sunday our family went to church and then went to have pizza and play laser tag (indoors...it was sleeting outside the day we were there).  There were arcade games too...

I wish I could have gotten some pics in our laser tag attire, but it's hard to hold a camera and play the game too.  Doug watched the littles while I played laser tag with the three oldest boys.

Last but not least we headed over to our Cub Scout Troop's Pinewood Derby that evening...

The chess set we got him for a birthday gift just arrived in the mail yesterday so we spent the afternoon and evening learning to play chess.  It was a very busy week overall and then a crazy Sunday but we managed to get it all done.  Happy 11th Birthday Soccer Boy!!
