Eleven!

We've been busy celebrating here at the Ouren household. Our baby boy turned 11 on Thursday!
This is the first year we didn't do some sort of party with family and/or friends. So that was a little different for us, but Caleb still got to choose what to do on the day of (after school of course) and one activity to do.

On the day of he chose to take some treats to his class and got to pass those out at lunch time. Then that evening, he chose to go to dinner with just Mom for a little date. We dined at his favorite new pizza place Pizza Pie Cafe and had some conversation, just the two of us. Then it was back home to finish up homework and wait for the rest of the family to get home from the twins swimming lessons.  Once everyone was here and ready, it was time for cake, a song, and presents at home.

 Mom and Dad had gotten him the new football he asked for, the Madden15 Xbox game he's been dying for and a new Lego advent calendar and new NY Giants jacket.  Plus the Eli Manning figurine he asked for that his cake was sporting. I think he was pleased.

For the activity portion, he chose to take one friend to the Grizzlies hockey game with just him and his Dad. He chose his friend Carter from school. Dad took them to the pro shop for some foam bear claws and mom scored some front row tickets for them to see the game up close and personal. Even though the Grizzlies lost, I got an "it was fun anyways" report. I'll take that.

Happy Birthday Caleb! More gifts and fun will continue to come in the mail and upcoming Thanksgiving trip to Price. The partying isn't over yet!
