Michael's Birthday Party

This year it was a family party year for Michael's birthday.  His big day started off with his birthday breakfast. He requested crepes with nutella and bananas.  I didn't get pictures of that.  

In the afternoon we went to Avatar together.  Most of the family had seen it but Michael and Jacob had not.  I love that movie!  

In the evening, we had Michael's birthday dinner.  He requested homemade pizza.  This is a favorite activity/dinner at our house.  Everyone enjoys this.  



Dinner was followed by presents.  As tradition requires everyone gives a gift of some kind, anything they can afford.  It is fun to see what everyone comes  up with.  This is Jacob doing "heavy heavy hangs over thy poor head.  What do you wish the giver?"  Jacob gave Michael a cool water bottle that he can use for soccer games and practices.  


Michael, as you can see was very happy about getting this lego set.  He has been talking about his birthday for almost the past month and he really wanted this.

And this... a wooden "musket" like the ones they used at a scout camp.  He also received a big foam nerf sword from his big brothers.   He loves to dress up in "armour" and have a war with anyone who is game.  Ahhh...legos, weapons, a pocket knife, a musket, and what else would any 11 year old boy want?  
Ahh yes.... an electric scooter!!  Yep, we are going to give that a try.   




Happy Birthday Michael!  We love you!
