The deacon...Ethan turns 12

Birthday morning....a mylar balloon (lovingly chosen from those available at Price Chopper) and a cereal of choice.  Ethan got cocoa puffs.


It's the year of the friend party...which means there are 2 parties by default. I am pretty sure that his friends don't want to have dinner with us and watch him open his family gifts....and I have very little desire to play laser tag with 10 crazy 12 year olds....bless their hearts. 

So....2 parties!

For the family party Ethan chose a white cake with the best frosting in the world with sliced strawberries on top. 

His dinner of choice was BLTs, corn on the cob, sliced strawberries and garlic bread.


Nobody was arguing...





A little game of napkin on the head:

  

And it's time for cake!



As I looked through the photos I realized Ethan was true to the time-honored pre-teen tradition of conducting his own birthday song:





I really loves that hat.


For his "Friend Party"...he invited boys AND GIRLS over for pizza, soda, cake and Laser Tag. 



I can honestly say that Ethan had a great time. I recorded them laughing out loud and singing a song at the top of their lungs entirely in "Meows". 

It was VERY middle school HILARIOUS.

And I loved seeing him so happy and enjoying his friends.



I don't have pictures of Laser Tag...because...wait for it....

I didn't have to go!!!

Mark took them all and handled the whole shebang.

Wait.

Is it my birthday?
