Aidan's 11!

Aidan's birthday was last Thursday and he had a wonderful day! Let's make that a wonderful three days in a row. Here's what happened! He came home from school to his special request, an ice cream cake! (Please note the huge flames that Josh likes to create with the candles.) He opened his gifts and had a wonderful night.

Friday he didn't have school due to parent/teacher conferences so he got the day home alone without his big brother, that's always a special treat! Then that evening his friends came over to head up with him to Denver to go to an indoor racetrack! Here they are after their safety lesson, getting their helmets.

Ready to drive!!!!

Each race was 9 laps and at the end they got a printout with their stats! Here's the winner's podium but everyone got to get up and take a spot! The boys had a great time, their parents told me that they couldn't stop talking about it!

I have to say a huge Thank You to Josh for taking care of the party. He drove up there with 6 boys and chaperoned the entire evening while Pax and I hung out at home. He's a wonderful dad and helped to make Aidan's party a hit!

Saturday was Aidan's school district basketball tournament. He got a bye in the first round due to only losing one game in the season but had to win the second round game in order to advance to the next round and so on. His team won their second round game and their third round game to make it to the final! They also won the final!!!!! D49's 5th grade boys basketball champs!

Here's the team with the tournament bracking that was on the wall. (Aidan is the second from the right.) See how Aidan's no longer the smallest boy on the team? He might be tied for being the shortest but there are others now!

Here was Josh's and Pax's pick for the Superbowl! They were right!
