TEN {Dylan's Birthday}

My firstborn turned 10 today.  TEN! I cannot express how much joy he brings to our family. I am SO proud of him!

He woke up this morning and walked out his room, loving the streamers hanging in his door.

He asked if they could stay up all day.  =)

Payton loved them too.

He opened a present from Payton.

She had spent about 3 hours the day before, drawing a picture, writing this letter,

and wrapped it all up with a penny. He was so sweet and really took time to appreciate it.

Here's my Spider-Man!

He got some books from Papa Nutt & Gigi.

Rylan prayed a sweet prayer at breakfast time for a Dylan.

And we devoured Swedish Pancakes.

And then got to FaceTime and open a present from Auntie J, Uncle Thor and his cousins.

He picked Chili's for lunch.

(Which was ironic because 10 years + 1 day ago Chris and I ate at Chili's for our last dinner as just the 2 of us.)

We went by Toys-R-Us to spend a little bit of his birthday money. And then it was back home for cherry cake (his choice).

Later that evening I made Capt'n Crunch Berries Treats (just like Rice Krispie Treats) to celebrate his birthday tomorrow at school.

Here we go . . . first year as parents to a preteen.

Pray for us!!! {smile}
