Birthday and Parade

The little guy is growing up! He's getting big and strong. He informed me that he was now a tween and that I need to get used to it. It's hard though because I remember when he really thought he was Peter Parker and Spiderman. Boy, those were the days.

To keep him young and spry and continue with the toy theme before it gets weird, we gave him what I thought was a very cool thing.

That's good, bud...read the card first.
Now you can dig in!

The emotions set in.

A LEGO CLOCK/RADIO! I love this! I really think he loved it too, because through the course of the weekend, he kept unplugging it and taking it around the house wherever he was so he could see the time. I wasn't sure if I should tell him that they have invented the watch. Nope, I just smiled at the excitement. I guess I should add a quick side note - my family is completely behind the times on technology...and I love it. I mean, this kid is excited about a clock. It's the first form of technology in his room except for his fan.

After the fun times of the family birthday party (friend party to come this weekend) we had a wonderfully relaxing time watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. We watch it every year.

One of the kids seems to remember us "being" there so the annual show must have sunk in.
