The Tale of Jack and the Double Digits

Story goes that Jack turned 10 in November! That story is true. Sigh. The days really are long, but the time flies by!

 He was a shocked as the rest of us! The interesting thing about him getting older is that his wishlist is getting pricier. What gifts do you get for your kids instead of the latest technological craze? I have a feeling this question only gets trickier in the next decade!
 Poor boy got slighted on the cake...but I was going through a miscarriage at the time, so he's kind of lucky he even GOT a cake. He doesn't seem to be offended, though...
 That weekend we had a party party party with 5 of his closest friends. Minecraft, baby, that's where it's at. They made pixelated "mini-me"s. Other games (not pictured) were creeper ball-toss (they took out pyramids of foam creepers with a ball) and game that involved hunting piggy balloons. Mostly there was running around attacking things. Yay, Minecraft.
 But he loved it and had a blast, which was really the point of the whole shebang!
More stellar cakes! Again with the cube/pixilated/easy theme.,.

Jack's favorite color: still green!
Jack's favorite things to do: Video games and reading
Jack wants to be: an inventor
Jack's favorite foods: Tacos and pizza
Jack love to; be in plays!
We cannot believe this kiddo is now 10. He is smart, goofy, but a total rule-follower. He loves his friends and honestly, wishes he could spend every spare minute with them! He is an amazing big brother to his littlest brother and is starting to step up with helping him out. Jack excels in music and is in his 5th year of piano. He doesn't care for sports except for swimming. Animals--he loves them. You can often find this kiddo snuggled up under a blanket, reading a book with a cat on his lap. Happy birthday, Jack! We love you!
