Hope your daddy takes a picture today so he can post it when you're 12.
Enjoy your cake and presents.
The mornign started with me calling at 07:00 and playing a game of HOT or COLD with him to find his present. He got a Spiderman backpack, a Spiderman MegaBlocks set (just think Lego), and a Spiderman board game. Along with a Spiderman birthday card. Sofia bought him a small cake and we will have a fuller celebration this weekend when various family members meet at my sister's to do a Thanksgiving / Birthday celebration.
Gonna be a beauty weekend!
ghee: thanks!
Hope he had a great celebration and that he soon can have fun in the snow :-)
