I hid the laptop/iPad on the kids last night so they wouldn’t have them when they first got up on April Fools Day. Aidan decided since he couldn’t play Minecraft he would teach himself how to play Ode to Joy on the recorder.At 6:15am.

Aidan is 10.  Wow! Where did the time go?  A whole decade!

The night before Aidan’s birthday we taped streamers across the doorway with the door closed and filled the space with balloons.  When Aidan woke up and opened the door all the balloons poured out.  He thought it was pretty funny.  I also made a big 10 with pictures of his previous nine birthdays.  Crazy to see how much he changed year to year.

Aidan’s choice of fun was for us to go to Sky Zone. So much jumping! Then Bren went off to voice lessons and Chris and I got to go to lunch with the birthday boy. (and then I dropped my phone, smashed the screen and needed to go buy a new iPhone. Ug)

We had our family party that night and Aidan was excited to receive Legos and other fun things. The next weekend was his friends party. Aidan’s friends party was held at Boston Bowl. We drove over with three of his friends.  All Minecraft talk.  All the time.  OMG.

The party was a fun time, I just can’t believe he is 10.  Time is certainly flying!

Chris loves to snowboard. He may have a new partner in crime! Aidan liked the lessons he has taken in the past few years. Unfortunately last winter we were not able to get out much- the weather didn’t cooperate. Hopefully this year is better!

Chris and Aidan hit the slopes at Loon Mountain for a day of fun- a lesson in the morning and a few runs together after lunch. They are planning for a few more trips too!
