today we celebrated Kristian turning 10 on December 29. I invited many family and friends to celebrate with us. At the end of the day there was a total of 32 people here to take part in the fun. The rule was no toys or you had to take home five. Everyone listened and Kristian got no toys, well except granny cheated a bit getting the newts a toy and then some sponge things that get bigger in water and she called it an educational tool or something like that. The funny part of that was when granny walked in with a box Kristian instantly was worried about her taking home 5 of his toys. =-) Everyone else got him gift cards, gift certificates or $. The best part of the day was hanging out for three hours with family and friends. The kids went off to the laundry room/equipment room to watch Underdog and the adults enjoyed visiting(there are six children in the room can you see them all?). The kids were about to finish their movies at about the same time the adults were ready to leave. Andrew was a bit board with it all so laid in watching Newy and Polly for a while. Not photoed were my nephew Trevor (he hides from cameras) and cousins Brent and Dawn that came a bit later in the day and I had set my camera down and didn't think to grab it when they arrived! Thank everyone for making Kristian's day wonderful. I did take a video of him blowing out the "trick" candles. It was funny watching him and two other children blow and blow and blow. =) CUTE!
