Aidan turns 11, or how Gramma saved the day...

 
first gift of the day: Legos!
Aidan's birthday was, rather unfortunately, just 2 days after my ACL surgery (which I really won't be delving into).  Thankfully for him, and all of us, I had gotten all of his bday shopping done before we left for vacation. 
some gifts included: Pirates of the Carribean music, Captain Jack Sparrow & Blackbeard, more Legos, and books.

And, even better, Gramma Seguine was here to take care of the kids for a week, so she made sure that Aidan had a great birthday breakfast, lunch, dinner, and cake.  She even took him shopping at Barnes and Noble, he came home fully loaded with books.

it's a volcano cake, complete with lava
I had convinced Aidan earlier to go for a simpler cake, and as it turned out, I was lucid enough to even decorate it myself!
Papa and Ashlee even made it by with more gifts: books, clothes and one final one...

I wish I could remember more of his day, but that's not really going to happen.  However, he remembers it quite well, and he had a great time.
Lego Hogwarts Castle!!!
