TEN

On my birthday this year, I turned 10 years old! My mom has been writing this blog about my life, but since I am old enough now, I am going to write it from now on. My mom and dad are going to help me with editing, writing topics, and posting pictures and videos, but most of the content will come from me. We had a party on the Friday after my birthday to celebrate with our friends and family. We had pizza from Hometown Pizza in La Grange. We had cupcakes too, my mom made them. They were really good. My Nanny P (Jeannie) came all the way from Virginia to celebrate and spend some time with us. My Aunt Tracy and Uncle Joe came. So did my friends Joel, Isaac, Nathanael, Rebekah, and their parents. My family gave me a new bike helmet and walkie-talkies. Another of the gifts I got was the Lego Granite Grinder. When it moves, the grinder moves back and forth. It was from Joel, Isaac, Nathanael, and Rebekah. I also got a coloring kit from my Aunt and Uncle. The markers in it were multi-colored – it was fun to draw with. I got twenty-five dollars from Jeannie and twenty-five more from my Grandmother and Grandfather. I got a ten dollar check from my Grandma and Grandpa. I got a card from my great-grandmother, too.

This past weekend, My Aunt Meredith and Terry took me and Daniel to the movies to see Bedtime Stories. It was funny, but I fell asleep for part of it! After the movies, they took us out to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

I had a good birthday and a fun party and movie treat. I am thankful for my friends, my gifts, and my money from everyone.

Ethan went back to school today. He had a substitute and had some serious trouble completing his homework. Walter helped him...
