Landon turned 11 years old on Tuesday, June 4th!! He was so excited for his birthday to finally arrive, especially once everyone got home from school and work so that he could open his presents. I took him his choice of Subway at school for lunch and it was fun to hear all his classmates sing him "Happy Birthday" even if he was slightly mortified by it!
Each of his siblings bought him a nice birthday gift with their own money. We just started doing this tradition and I think it really adds something special to our family birthday celebrations!
He was excited about each and every gift and was anxious to get started on lots of different projects!
He also received many nice cards full of money from relatives which is always a treat!
The last gift was a surprise waiting for the three older kids in the garage...some new Y scooters! We found a great deal on 3 used scooters that were in excellent shape. Abby bought her own and we got each of the boys one for their June birthdays. We ended up getting all 3 scooters for about half of what a new one would cost so it was a great deal for everyone!
After dinner at Noodles & Co. we came home for candles and chocolate cake. It was a pretty delicious way to end Landon's 11th birthday!
Landon has really grown a lot this year. He has come out of his shell a bit and has enjoyed performing in front of groups for the very first time. He still loves all sports and games and while his extreme competitiveness gives him lots of motivation, we're still working on toning it down a notch in his everyday life. He got glasses this last year which makes him look pretty smart. He is incredibly intelligent and his smarts will take him far in life. We sure do love this big kid of ours! Happy Birthday Landon!!
