Celebrating Pryce

Yesterday was the kick-off day for celebrating Pryce!  For ten consecutive days, we are doing something extra special in honor of his 10th birthday.  Kick-off day consisted of a donut breakfast, a friend over to play for the afternoon, and We Bought A Zoo with his favorite ice cream.  It was perfect.

Today we had a few of his buddies over for football, water balloon wars, a treasure hunt and just some good ole' backyard boy fun....

 I can hear P saying in this pic, "Now that is what I am talking about!".....he had just scored a touchdown and he wasn't too proud to show it!

 Trying to incorporate a bit of safety, ie, NO tackling, we invested in a flag football set.  The thing is, no matter how safe one tries to be, it never fails, there will be an injury.  Or two.  Thankfully, the wounds were fast to heal and the game carried on.

 Team Lions....

 Team "We Are Awesome"....

 With several tired, hot and hungry guys on board, we headed inside for a time to cool off, open gifts,

 read some sentimental words....

blow out a few, ahem, A LOT of candles.....

 and eat cake and ice cream.

A fabulous day celebrating one special guy.  So thankful for him.
