navygreenA.J.'s 11th birthday was in August, and this one was a quieter deal. We had huge parties for both boys the previous summer, and they only get to have parties every other year. Of course, he's eleven-and-a-half now, but here I am, just getting around to posting!
** Yes, I realize I never wrote up the story of his 10th birthday bash. However, I did load the pictures way back when, and you can figure out most of the day/night from the descriptions on them HERE. :-)
He invited our neighbors - Drew & Natalie - to celebrate the day with us. They came over in the afternoon, and then we all traipsed off to the movie theatre to see Shorts. The kids all enjoyed the film and had a good time. Afterwards, they played for a bit before Drew and Natalie had to head home for dinner. (We had invited them along, but they had other plans going on that night.)
Then we drove out to West Omaha to A.J.'s choice of restaurant - Jimmy Buffett's chain, Cheeseburger in Paradise. We'd eaten there a handful of times, but it had been a long, long while since. The waitstaff surprised him with a song and an ice cream sundae at the end of our meal.
At home, he opened his gifts late in the evening. We'd given him a musical birthday card that played Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" (he loves that song!), and his favorite gift was a $25 gift card to Borders. It was a special gift card decorated for Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and he loved that series. :-)
