Madden's 10th Birthday

 DOUBLE DIGITS!!! HOW DID WE GET HERE?!?!  It's still hard to believe that my baby is 10 years old.  He is just growing up so fast that I would give anything to slow down time.  

I tried to come up with a plan to throw Madden a birthday party, but I just couldn't get it together.  Either way, Madden wasn't really hyped on it, so that is probably why I wasn't pushing too hard.  His one request was to do Disneyland, so that is what I made sure happened.  This year his birthday was on a Friday, so it turned into a birthday weekend for him.

He came home from school and immediately wanted to open all his gifts.

He received a lot of great presents, but it was the virtual reality system that was his favorite.

That evening after our football game we invited a couple buddies and their families to Draft Republic for dinner.  The kids played in the stimulator and had a blast.

Saturday afternoon we heading to Disneyland.  Madden main objective was to ride the Incredicoaster.  He has backed out last time we were there and I think he kicked himself for not riding it then.  We made sure to hop on it right away, which he ended up loving every second of it.

Getting ready for Soarin.

Rode Cars at night which you can't beat.  It really is the best ride.

We stayed at Disney until closing time.  Madden had an absolute blast and was so happy the whole time we were there.

We ended the birthday weekend on Sunday with a last few requests.  First request from Madden was a full body massage...haha, so of course I took him because who am I to say no to a massage.  Then he asked for his birthday dinner, which was sushi.  And we topped off the weekend with a homemade ice cream sundae in a margarita glass.

Happy 10th Birthday to my Best Friend!
