Pin It Now!
We really went all out for
Mullin's birthday this year. We have been in AZ for his past 4 birthdays, and 2 of those were basically
flops. His first year in AZ, we had a super-fun
Harry Potter birthday.
In 2008, he contracted chicken pox right before his birthday, and we had to cancel his party.
Last year, we planned a
big blow-up slide birthday bash . . . and the blow up slide WOULDN'T BLOW UP! We had a house full of boys, and it's TORRID in August. Wow, we had to improvise -- we felt so badly!!!
So, this year we tried to make it up to him.
He deserved it -- he is truly an amazing 11 year old!!!
Kicking it off by eating "sort-of home made doughnuts", and having his cousin spend the night.
NYPD pizza for lunch the next day with church friends. He doesn't look very happy here --first of all we weren't allowed to sing him "Happy Birthday" in public (yep, he's officially a tween!) and he really didn't even want to pose with his birthday brownies -- the kid doesn't care for cake anymore. Sorry, but a mama's gotta have certain kid photos!

After lunch --
Mukutu's Island for a few hours.

Actual birthday -- spent time with his Grandpa, and then we celebrated with Oreo Delight and presenting him with a
Zune. :)

Lastly, a "neighborhood friend" birthday party. Pizza, X-box and gun wars.
Hope you had a blast, son!!! We love you so much. :)
