Happy 11th Birthday Kayden!

Kayden celebrated his 11th birthday.  He is excited to be in 11 year old scouts and to go on camp outs with his dad.  Kayden had a whole day dedicated to him:

 

He got checked out of school for lunch.  He wanted to get takeout at Costa Vida.  He also requested a nacho bar for dinner so we picked up some queso.  We also picked up some doughnuts for his class on the way back to school.

 

11!

Dad had to show "11" with his fingers too, only he put his fingers up his nose.  What he doesn't do for a laugh!

Kayden received a Classic Nintendo for his birthday.  He is excited to play the classic version of the Zelda games.

Kayden asked for  grasshopper pie for dessert.  He and his brothers are quite silly.  Happy birthday Kayden!  We sure love you!
