Kellan's big St Louis birthday trip (photos from February 23, 2013)

In celebration of Kel's 9th birthday, he chose three of his closest pals (Antoine, Logan, and Sofia) to join him for a fun-filled day out in St. Louis. We started at the Magic House, then went on to the City Museum, and finished off at the Old Spaghetti Factory for a fabulous birthday meal. What a day!

 

Birthday snow day! (photos from Feb. 21, 2013)

Its hard to imagine anything better than a snow day -- on your birthday!!! Lucky boy. Kel and his neighbourhood buddies spent the afternoon out enjoying the cold white stuff.

Happy 9th Birthday!

A few photos of Kel's present-opening from this morning. 9 years old already. How did that happen?!

Two new sets for his airplane collection.

He got a couple of great new games for the whole family to enjoy.

And of course, there was Lego!

A brand new real working lightsaber.

Kel's big present was a 15 foot trampoline for the backyard. We haven't assembled it yet (darn winter!), so I don't have a photo of him going down to see it in its box in the garage, but he was thrilled. He's wanted one for a very long time and this year, his dreams came true. Happy birthday to our great big amazing 9 year old!
