Our 10 year old boy

Time flies. Caden has turned 10 years old last week.  It also marks our milestone as being parents for full 10 years!

Before his birthday, Caden has been talking about inviting his closer friends over. His intent was for us to organise a birthday party so that his closer classmates could to our place and play Nerf with him. We were not too keen because we don't like to interact with the classmates' parents should they decide to stay in our house during the party.. My ah Lou is not a sociable person so I will have to do most of the talking when situations require me to.. So we managed to convince Caden that we will just get his play buddies to come over on Sunday for a mini-gathering.

Brian's family came over and the boys had great fun playing for almost close to 5 hours playing Nerf, soccer and Beyblades. Caden was very happy that day when his play mates celebrated his birthday for him...

On the night before he slept, he told me that it was the happiest day he had... having so much fun with his brother, Aidan and Elliot on that day (I guess it was priceless to him!). We also got him a new Nerf gun as his birthday gift which he had picked for himself.

On his actual birthday, I went to grab him a mini-personal cake since we did not have a chance to have an eat-out dinner this time round. He was nonetheless happy with this little surprise...

I must say, it gets easier to celebrate their birthdays as they get older!
