DAY TEN HAS BEEN RESERVED (all photos are so dark. boo.)

For this big kid.


Christmas is set aside.  The front door wreath is covered with a birthday sign.  Streamers hang from the bedroom door.  The birthday hat, chair and banner is put out.

[I bought this banner on Eddie's first birthday.  Just a few years ago I noticed why this birthday message is extra special.  Do you see it?]


 From dawn until way past sundown we celebrated on this gray, drizzly Friday. 

  • Treats for the school kids.
  • He had lunch with Grammy and Grandpa.
  • Opened presents.
  • We went to the 3D opening of "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and invited a couple of neighbor friends.
  • Eddie had a yummy cake idea and it turned out great!
Can you tell which child was being the most difficult at this moment?

I can't believe it.  I can't believe he's twelve!  He's a great kid, a very cute birthday boy.  I feel so blessed.
