Back towards the beginning of May, Hudson up and turned 9 on me. How can he be this old? And going into 4th grade next year? Those of you who have older kids are probably thinking, "Just wait..." and I realize he's going to keep getting older, but still. It's hard to believe that I have a nine year old and that he's growing up so fast.
On his birthday, Hudson saved us money and requested his favorite home-cooked meal: grilled burgers, fresh watermelon, oven fries, and a green salad. With root beer. He's really not hard to please. Dessert was ice cream from Cold Stone where he chose blue cotton candy ice cream with rainbow sprinkles mixed in. After that came the traditional opening of presents. Here he is opening one of two favorites that night (the other was a circuit board kit):
He kind of has a thing for Minecraft and Legos. Putting out a product that entails both of these things is one of the most brilliant ideas in the history of toys. Ever.
A few days later we had a little birthday gathering with extended family (hubby's parents, one of hubby's brothers and his boys, and my two brothers who live locally and their families). Since smiling nicely for a picture is totally overrated when you're 9 years old, this is what Hudson treated my camera to when he had the chance:
Love my boy so much... I now have about 11 months to come to terms with the fact that he's going to be 10 next year.
