"It's my Birthday week!"

So, apparently becoming 10 entitles you to not just celebrate on your birthday (and party day)...but to have a week long extravaganza!

Noah's birthday typically falls during the week so we normally hold his actual party on the weekend. And in the past, he has sometimes had 2 parties - one for family and one for friends. So I guess it wasn't unusual for those three days to turn into a week long celebration!

All week, Noah's excuse for anything was "But it's my birthday week!" ..and usually he got his way. I think this year it was mingled in with the feeling of losing him as a baby, as he moved into the double digits and feeling sorry for him because of his ankle. That or he is just really LOVED!

He had a friend over to spend the night Friday night and he ended up spending most of the weekend with him. I think he earned some cool points with all they did....He enjoyed some hot tub time with his buddy, complete with mega jamming on the outside stereo speakers. They spent Saturday morning at the fire station where Chief Dad took them for a spin in the fire truck. We did a little shopping that afternoon.

Sunday was his big family party/game day at the training center. We had a "Soup-er Party" with a handful of different types of soups and all the yummy toppings. He got 2 cakes....a Ben 10 cupcake cake and a cookie cake for dessert. He then spent the afternoon opening his presents...rather cards and money that he loved counting over and over and playing games with friends and family. The day was complete with a stop at the training tower to show his buddy the top floor and training maze.

I think he is completely enjoying being in the double digits!
...I just need a vacation to rest from the big BIRTHDAY WEEK!
