i tried

all he wanted this year was a few friends over to swim,

eat pizza,

and sleep over.

nice!

was my initial reaction.

i couldn't do it though.

we played minute to win it games.

the winner got to pick his toppings for the baked bananas first.

then homemade ice cream they made themselves.

we all settled in for a movie and bed at 10.

nothing over the top.

i am excited to see what 11 brings...

but glad he is 10 a few more days.
