Happy Birthday Jordan!

My eldest son turned 9 today...hard to believe he's in his last year of single digits but he's excited about it even if I'm not.

After church we went to Red Robin, our favorite haunt for birthdays. Jordan had his usual grilled-cheese-with-fries lunch and then the servers came around the table to sing 'Happy Birthday' to him and he got a free ice cream sundae.


Because parties are so expensive, we have come up with a new plan - have a party with friends or take $100 to spend as he wishes. He opted for the $100 because he can buy a lot of Legos with his money and he loves Legso. Needless to say, after church we went straight to Target so he could buy his Legos and he spent all of it right then and there. No saving for later!

To celebrate his birthday, as family we decided to go ten-pin bowling which is one of Jordan's favorite things to do.



















Cullen doesn't enjoy competitive sports and never has so he puts up with ten-pin bowling but doesn't really enjoy it. As you can see, he found his own entertainment with a barstool.

We ended the day with chocolate cake while watching a movie of Jordan's choice in the basement. A great day had by all!


Happy Birthday Jordy!!!
