The Double Digit Birthday

The Man-Cub has turned 10. When I remember what I was doing 10 years ago this week with that little bundle of boy I'm amazed that I now have this big 10 year old bundle of boy - who'll never see another single digit birthday - quite a milestone!

It's been our little family tradition to put the wrapped presents at the foot of the Man-Cub's bed before he wakes up in the morning.

Then he opens them all while he's still in bed...

There was a baseball clock...

...and a baseball switchplate for his baseball themed room...

...a new filter for his aquarium...

One solar energy experiment set and book...

...and another solar power discovery kit - he's really into energy conservation and solar energy right now...

...we made my standby recipe for yellow cake http://affectioknit.blogspot.com/2007/05/caramel-cake-mans-mom-used-to-work-for.html
and added some sprinkles - these ones are actually Easter sprinkles - but it makes the cake look like a 'funfetti' cake which is what he wanted...

He's old enough to light his own candles now...

...and blow them out...

Happy Birthday Man-Cub!!!

He's received lots of nice gifts from all of you and he's very thankful too!
