Last week he was first in line for the newest Wimpy Kid book. He devoured it on the spot. He loves them and has read them all twice. Matt and I have thought about writing the author and thanking them for getting our son to LOVE reading. No better gift.
Jarom and Bella at the Wimpy Kid party at the bookstore, full of games and prizes. It was so fun to watch Jarom. He really knows these books inside and out and would yell out the answers so excitedly. They both won a Wimpy Kid silly band - good as gold, to us anyway. :)
Jarom had an early party on Saturday. He wanted to plan the whole thing. The colors were green and gray - for The Legend of Zelda, the video game. And he planned the activities. Playing with his robots, playing the Wii and a piñata. He let me add Pin the Tail on the Donkey.
Jarom opening his first gift from Matt and I. It was too sweet. He desperately tried to unwrap the gift with such care, he wanted to save the wrapping. And the heartbreaking thing is, I still threw it away - Matt is going to read this and cry.
Nothing like getting your very own box of sugar cereal.
This was a little crazy but it worked and kept us in the warm house
madness
My desperate attempt to make a Link (Zelda) cake - it is a shield with the Triforce and a million sprinkles.
