my oldest is now...

a 10 year old!! even harder to believe than my youngest being a 2 year old. yesterday was christopher's big day...
he woke up to a sweet brand new bike...
and some other gifts to open....
one of which was the 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Do It Yourself Book ' where you get to make up your own story and fill in the blanks. he got going on it right away. he read the entire series over christmas break - our avid reader just like his dad...
he asked if he could have one of the cream soda's santa brought him with dinner, then said, "mom and dad, on the count of three start saying: chug, chug". the first time we did he started laughing so hard we had to start over. on the next try he really did chug the whole thing...drunk off cream soda...
he love's lighting his own candles...

and we had his favorite dessert: brownies and ice cream (from a special store in Chicago sent by his cousin who makes the ice cream there...better than mary coyle's for all you locals)...
grandma, grandpa and the 'uncles' on dad's side stopped by for dessert...
i also brought wendy's (spicy chicken sandwich is his fav) to school for him to have at lunch. wish i would have brought my camera. all his friends love little john-john and are so good with him, he sat with them all and ate with all the big 4th graders.

a bigger celebration with more family to be held over the weekend...
