The Birthday Boy

Yesterday was Logan's 11th birthday. He wanted to get everyone up at 6 am to open his gifts, but his mean mom nixed that idea. He ended up waiting "patiently" (ahem) until 1 pm when everyone was home at the same time. He got an RGIII football jersey, a National League bedspread to replace his little boy race car bedspread. His siblings gave him some Nike Elite sox, Reese's PB cups, and cash.

At 6 pm he had his friends come over for a little party. First, we went to Ci-Ci's Pizza in Leesburg to enjoy an all-you-can-eat Pizza feast. Then Dan took the boys to Temple Hall Farm Corn Maze. It was after dark and the boys had flashlights, but claimed that it wasn't spooky. Dan decided to spice it up for them and took a detour. When the boys started asking, "Logan! Where's your dad?", Dan came crashing through the corn straight at them. He reported that some of the ensuing screams sounded like they came from little girls and not this group of not-scared-at-all "manly" boys.

After the maze, they came back to our house for cake and ice cream.

                                               Here's his big, huge, 4-layer chocolate cake!

Logan attempts to blow all the candles out.
