Kelton's birthday

Kelton was ready to party this year.  My guess is breaking through that 13/teenager milestone had something to do with that. Daxton was awesome and helped me set up Kelton's birthday morning balloon surprise, and all the other birthday decorations. It may have taken us way longer than we thought, but his balloon wall worked perfectly in the morning!


The crepe paper birthday grid was new this year, and was actually pretty fun. We spent the entire day needing to walk the long way around this doorway while Kelton just slithered underneath it.


Looks like we're ready to party!

Birthday breakfast request: feast day!

What else would he ask for except for new games? It's getting to the point now where we have more games than we have time to play!

Once we figured out the quirks, Catan Sea Farers is great!

A recreation of his favorite monster googly-eye cake. Yup, still having a hard time convincing my brain he's 13.

His friend party was held at Activate. He had never been before, but thanks to the reconnaissance Daxton and I did earlier this summer, we knew it would be a perfect place for he and his friends.




They weren't ready for the party to be over so we went back to our house to hang out. They turned on the sprinklers and wrestled on the trampoline.

They opened presents.

And they melted balloons and other toys with a magnifying glass they found. Hosting teenage boy parties are 100% different than hosting teenage girl parties! But we survived all the energy and had a great day. 

Happy birthday to the sweetest, most kind hearted kid I know!
