We got back from Universal on Thursday, May 29. We had Zachary’s birthday party planned for
Saturday. Yikes! Thankfully, he wanted a pool party, and that
really required minimal effort to pull off.
He had a nice little group of boys who came – enough to make it feel
like a party, but small enough that it was manageable. We let Zachary pick out the snacks he wanted
for the party – he picked apples with caramel dip, a veggie tray, goldfish
crackers, and gummies. Then we had pizza
and cake too.
Sunday was the actual birthday – the big 1-0. I still can’t believe it! We started the day with our new tradition, of
putting $1 bills inside balloons. He got
10 this year, of course. This is
Herschel’s least favorite tradition…We went to church, but then that evening he
chose to go to Alpine Bakery for dinner.
I think he just likes it for their cake.
:)
We had actually started his birthday almost a week early –
when we arrived in Universal the Monday before, my mom gave him his first
present a little bit early. She had
gotten him a fitbit (which he had wanted), and she thought he might want to
track his steps through the parks. He
loved that! He also got special birthday
buttons too – he was hoping they would get him free stuff, but all it got him
was some happy birthday wishes. Lol!
On the day of his party, he opened the presents his friends
had brought him. Then on his actual
birthday, he opened the presents Josh’s mom had brought down with her. He decided to save our presents for his
birthday dinner at my mom’s house, which we didn’t have until this past weekend
(a full week after his birthday). By
that point, we’d been celebrating for almost 2 weeks! I guess it’s OK – double digits is kind of a
big deal!
