Because nothing was open worth going to for his birthday (grocery shopping outing anyone? :p ) Daniel got to pick out an activity kit that I ordered for him.
It was a spy kit, including a safe and lots of cool instructions. And no school today!!!
The box locked itself by mistake (a pin popped loose when it wasn't supposed to) so Melanie tried to break into the stage to reset it. Fortunately we did manage to get inside and it is useable again! Phew!!
Daniel wanted to decorate the cake himself. He also made it himself the day before.
Happy birthday! (cheesey kiddo)
He really is becoming a responsible young guy. Thoughtful too! And gentlemanly. Usually.
He approved of his cake.
Present opening time can be so early now with Dad being home all day! Daniel got a neat pencil holder for his personal desk.
And a binder cover, and it says "Daniel's. Open at your own risk"
A walkie talkie replica.
And cards.
Daniel was expecting the "11 year old gift" which his 3 older siblings got at year 11. The only surprise was that I hid it in his prop--the supposedly empty birthday present from his piano performance piece.
The ice free arena was used for a game of catch the mitten. Melanie is great for making up new entertainment.
More birthday sugar. You can pick your birthday cake, pop, candy and dinner. So spoiled!
And when the sun went down it was time to play with glow bracelets in the apartment with all the lights off.
Happy Birthday Daniel!!
