Birthday Boy #1

Zack had his birthday last week.  I can't believe he is ten years old!  All the photos of his birthday are on Matt's camera, I will have to find them. 

The weekend before his birthday, Zack invited the boys in his church class to go sledding.  Matt took them for about an hour while I picked up pizza.  They came home all worn out and starving.  I had made a batch of cinnamon rolls that morning they were gobbled up before I could even get the pizzas in the oven!  They watched Jumanji (none of them except Zack had ever seen it) and played around until it was time to go home.  It wasn't a party, more of a late night and Zack thought it was better than any birthday party around. 

The day of his birthday he had to go to school.  I had promised to make him a special birthday lunch, but in the hustle and bustle of getting everyone off to school amidst birthday stuff, I forgot.  He was THRILLED when I showed up to school with his special lunch later that morning...when I remembered. 

Zack opened up a Lego Idea book before school and everything else after dinner.  Dinner was his choice (Steak and fried potatoes and salad with chocolate cake for dessert).  He also got a backpacking backpack, Webelos stuff, some science kits and I can't remember what else....

Zack is a great kid.  He is funny and kind and always willing to help.  He wants to be an author and a professor of Greek mythology when he grows up.  Happy Birthday Zack!!
