I can't believe my baby boy is turning 9! It was finally time for his party and since he wanted a football party this year, we only thought it made sense to do his party on Sunday so we could watch some football. Plus it helped that his favorite team, the Giants, were on and the first televised game of the day. Convenient.
He was up early and dressed and ready to go before the rest of us could even gather a coherent thought.
He was really into a DIY Bday this year and insisted that we make (not buy) his cake and cupcakes this year. Mike and I spent the majority of Saturday doing that. We definitely won't be making our debut as cake decorators any time soon. But, he was happy with it.
And he made his own Bday banner with pictures he had drawn for the game. And had written names and stats of some of the players from both teams on them.
After guests arrived, we dined on some football food (as he calls it). There were hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, toquitos, and popcorn chicken. Then of course cupcakes and football shaped Cocoa Kripsie treats. Then it was time to open presents.
He ended up getting a lego sticker book, an Eli Manning jersey, Star Wars fighter pods, Skylanders Giants xbox game and extra characters, a Starwars Lego set, a Starwars Lego advent calendar, a Super Mario chess game, a pencil box full of pencils and fun shaped erasers, and some cashola.
All of the kids immediately wanted to open the chess game and play a round or 2.
Overall, I would say this is one happy soon to be 9 year old. 2 more days until it's official!
