Big Brother is 11!!

Last week my oldest turned 11. It didn't sting as much as when he turned 10, but I have a feeling in a couple years its gonna hurt much worse. On his birthday he wanted donuts for breakfast. Little Brother had picked them out at the store the night before. They are his favorites and of course Big Brother was fine with them. Later in the day after my husband got home from work and Grammy came over, he opened his presents and we had dinner and some cookies (his request instead of cake). He begged to open a gift before dinner, so we told him he could (he knew which one he wanted to open because he had asked for it, but he needed to choose the right one). Unfortunately he chose wrong the first time but got it right when we gave him another chance. He has been doing lots of extra chores and extra school work to earn "screen time" to play his new games. On Saturday we had a party at the bowling alley to celebrate with his friends. They all seemed to have a great time and he had a great day getting to spend time with them.

MMMMMMM

"Brother, aren't these the best donuts ever??"

Cutest bed headed boy ever!

He thought this was the one he wanted to open first...

Oh man!! Not it!

But, it was a skateboard...so that was very exciting.

Thanks Grammy & Papa!

Let's try this one..

Yep, that's it!

Thanks Grammy & Papa!!

Having a big brother is AWESOME!

Big boy!

Oh dear...

Sigh

Lots of new games.

What a handsome young man.

The whole gang.

Let the games begin!

These boys were very into their bowling game.

Hot dog time!

They were huge hot dogs.

Little Brother loved bowling!

And he loved cupcakes!
