Chris' birthday was actually back in October, but because life got in the way, I wasn't able to put up his birthday post.
Instead of shelling out a ton of money on a birthday party that hardly anyone would show up to (as the way it usually goes), we all decided to try something different. Instead of a birthday party, Chris chose to have a day where we would do whatever he wanted, go wherever he wanted, etc. A day all about him. I mean, what better way to celebrate the birthday boy anyway, right? So, because his birthday was on a school night, his "special day" was celebrated the Saturday after.
For breakfast, he wanted to go to Hardee's, so we did that. A little while after we finished with breakfast we went to the store to pick up his cake. He chose a cupcake cake instead of a sheet cake. It turned out really neat and everyone loved it. Around 11, we went to Hickory Dickory Dock and spent almost the entire day there. The boys had an absolute blast. They did the bumper cars, mini golf, laser tag, soft play, and of course played in the arcade. It was a lot of fun but we were so tired. We didn't leave until a little after 7pm. We stopped by CiCi's for a quick dinner and all crashed when we got home.
Chris really enjoyed his special day and didn't mind about not having a party, so it turned out great. I'm not sure what he'll want to do for his next birthday. We'll just have to wait and see.

Chris is growing up so fast on me. I don't think I'm ready for him to hit the double digit age this year. Slow down, child. ;)
