Caedmon turned 9!


Caedmon is 9 years old.  Thankfully this year his birthday fell on a Sunday, which always makes it more fun for the boys since they are off from school.  We celebrated with our annual traditions of cinnamon rolls and presents for breakfast, favorite foods for lunch and dinner, and a piñata and cake with neighbors in the afternoon.  Caedmon thoroughly enjoyed the day!

Cinnamon Roles for breakfast!
Caedmon received Chess, Silly Putty, and a watch for his birthday.  
He said the Silly Putty was his favorite, though he faithfully wears his watch everyday and takes it to bed with him.
As for Chess, Caedmon mostly learned with friends at school.  He consistently beats me and if him and John don't end in a stale mate, they take equal turns winning.

We have a tradition of putting balloons in the birthday person's room equal to the number of years they are turning.
