our birthday boy

Happy, happy birthday CJ!! Last night he said to me he has never wished a weekend to go fast as he had this one. He was so excited for his 11th birthday. 

Everything about the day was great! From Bailee making chocolate chip pancakes for him (She made them for the boys while I was in Utah with Karlee. They loved them.) to having lunch with Bailee at school! I was working the lunch room while Bailee sat and had lunch with him. (Again, all the kids were surprised at how much Bailee looks like me. It was funny.)

I was able to get this cake made and decorated before he got home from school. Three layers of chocolaty goodness!

We had his birthday dinner at Chili's, a family favorite. I had back to school night at his school before we were able to have presents and cake. 

Brian gave him clues for a little scavenger  hunt for his presents. He loved it! He now has a cool chest like Harry!

All of his presents were related to Harry. They were perfect!

After he blew out his candles one was left. Bailee said he had one girlfriend. He said, "One is all I need!"
