Ian's 10th Birthday Celebration, Part 1

Ian's 10th birthday celebration was spread out over a few days. Grandma and Grandpa came down to help celebrate with Ian! Ian's birthday is January 24th--it landed on a Friday this year (2025):

I made Ian his birthday pancake, complete with a lit candle and a happy birthday song. I usually put whipped cream, but I must not have had any that day.

Grandma and Grandpa took Ian and Elisa to Dutch Bros around the corner from us for a Happy Birthday treat! How fun!

Later that day, I made some birthday popcorn (I had been on a popcorn kick since I got a popcorn maker for Christmas). It was made using melted white chocolate chips and sprinkles. It turned out yummy!

Ian chose Chick-fil-a for his birthday meal.

Gabe made Ian an awesome card. I wish I would have taken a better picture of it!

I got Ian a rock tumbler. I've been using it mostly. 

The next day, Saturday, Ian had his friend party (see next post) and later that day he wanted to go out (again) to his other favorite place to eat, Bobby Q's. He ordered what he normally orders--Mac and Cheese! And at the end, the waitress served him his free chocolate cake and ice cream!

This cutie sat in front of me--perfect spot for me to get some pictures!

I was going to delete this picture, but I think its kinda funny. There was a weird glare from the camera lens that ended up looking like a boogie on Ian's face! Ha.
