The Kid Turns 11

Tis true.  We now have an eleven year old in the house.

This is the first time he didn't want a themed party.

So sad.

But he still picked everything on the menu, including brownies, in lieu of cake.

Here's the day in photos:

As always, we did a family party at the house.

Aunts, uncles, cousins, Grammy and Grandpa.

He requested my Marinated Mushrooms, brie, and salami for appetizers.

I threw in a couple store bought cheese balls and a fruit platter, too.

For dinner, he wanted Rigatoni with Pesto and Sausage, Baked Tomatoes, and Garlic Bread.

After dinner, he opened presents.

Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday.

I made three different kinds of brownies.

Caramel, Candy Cane, and Peppermint Bark.

Such a sweet kid.

And tomorrow, we'll have a five year old on our hands.

Look out, world.
