10 already?!?!?!

Yesterday we celebrated Joel's 10th birthday!
He got to open one of his presents in the morning, which happened to be a starter pack for a new WWII  miniatures game...
Needless to say, he was pretty exited, LOL!!!

That afternoon we went and saw the new Pixar movie 'Planes'!  Secrets never last long in our family, but we managed to keep this from the birthday boy all day!  He never even suspected till we pulled up to the theater. We don't go to the theater very often since it is so expensive for our family (even the matinee), so this was a treat for everyone.   We really enjoyed the movie! It was very cute, perfectly clean, and a great family movie.

Once we got home, Dad started cooking up catfish for dinner!  Gramma came out to celebrate with us, and so did Hannah and baby Dillon!!!!     

It took a while to cook up all that yummy TX catfish, but it was sure worth the wait...yum...
Living in an RV, we don't have the space to have a million people over, or a huge cake. So usually our birthdays look like this ;)
 ...we had run out of propane, so the brownies didn't get done; we just had ice cream instead. 
We try not to do a ton of presents on birthdays, since we try to celebrate the kid and not the 'stuff', so Joel got to open his last present after ice cream.  He thought the Gerber/Bear Gryllis (or whatever) machete was pretty cool... Hey! I would too ;) 
It's hard to believe that my little brother is already 10!!!  I love all my awesome siblings, I just wish they wouldn't grow so fast!!!!        Happy Birthday Joel!!!
