I'm a little late in getting this post written, but better late than never, right? Matt turned ten this summer and we celebrated in ten-year-old style. I was gone at a convention over his actual birthday, so I told him he could turn ten a week early, not just celebrate early. He was pretty excited about that because he has a friend with the same birthday so he could rub it in a little about being older.
We took Matt to the Lego store where he bought a couple of Lego movie sets with all of his money. Yup, he's at the age now where he just wants money. Makes gift-giving a whole lot easier!
We wandered over to the Build a Bear factory just to check it out and he decided with the rest of his money that he would make a Super Puppy.
If you can't have a real dog, make one! We always let the birthday child pick a place to eat out and he chose P.F. Chang's. They have a great gluten free menu and Matt loves fried rice. We actually fed the entire family there for only $20! I'm sure that will never happen again.
Afterwards we went home so he could spend the rest of his day building his Lego sets. We also had a yummy dessert of chocolate cake with cool whip topping.
Matt is such a fun guy to have around. I'm so glad we didn't sell him when he was an over-active toddler!
(That's a joke, folks. I would never sell my kids. *wink*)
