Golden Boy!

I was told by my friend Lori that this year was Connor's "golden birthday". I had no idea what that meant, but I guess it's when you turn the same age as the day of your birthday. Make sense? Example--on March 11th, my baby boy turned 11!! See? What a great birthday it was for Connor! Dad took the day off work, we brought treats to his classroom, he had a great little party with a few of his best pals, then for an extra special treat Aunt Jen, Uncle Andrew, Abby and Aubri arrived the night of his birthday for a long visit! Honestly he couldn't have been more happy. And since one of our favorite things is to see our kids happy, it was a great day for everybody! I didn't get tons of pictures cause we were too busy having fun, but here's a couple highlight:

Group shot of his birthday bash! They went to the park and played "Super Bunt" for an hour, ate pizza and TONS of junkfood, cupcakes and video games galore. At one point, we had a few on the PS3, a few on the Wii and a few playing Uno Attacks at the table. They had a blast!

Watching the boys play "Little Big Planet 2". It was a huge hit, they were laughing hysterically the entire time. They weren't really trying to pass levels, but instead shooting cake at each other with the dreaded "Cakenator" helmet. It was awesome.

Our family loves ice cream sandwiches, we make them all the time. So Connor asked me if instead of a cake he could have a huge ice cream sandwich for his birthday. So...here you have a giant cake-sized Chocolate and Mint-Chip cookie sandwich. It was delicious!!
