Aiden turns TEN

Somehow we now have a TEN-year-old!  For birthdays, we now give our kids a "set" amount that they can do what they want with it. Aiden LOVES Legos and so for the majority of his money he wanted a Lego police truck so he had just a little left over for his party and he decided to invite a few friends to the AF pool for an afternoon. Easiest (and probably cheapest!) party ever!  At the pool the kids were all old enough that they entertained themselves the entire time!  It was amazing and so much easier than Callie's party with lots of five-year-olds. :) Here's Aiden with all of his birthday Legos.
He is one happy Lego lover!  And here are some pictures of his party with some of his closest little buddies:
 Aiden really is such a nice and good kid!  He always tries to choose the right and he's so smart!  He makes parenting pretty easy and I hope that keeps up through his teenage years :) Here's his ten-year-old birthday interview:
