It is hard to believe that "baby" Abe turns 10 this year. Now seems like a good time to document his 7th, 8th, and 9th birthdays before he hits double digits. For his 7th birthday, we had a costume party. His day-before-Halloween birthday always allows for a fun celebration.
(Had to document this gift as it was a favorite for quite some time!)
We spent Abe's 8th birthday where we spend most Saturday nights in the fall... on the flag football field. He was on the Titan's Under the Lights team with some friends, so it just made sense to bring the cake to the game. We also attempted to have a "movie in the park" but due to the wind conditions, the park cancelled the movie at the last minute. Since he had invited some friends to join, (and it was dark), we decided to play hide & go seek with flashlights. Some kids hid a little too well, but it ended up being a fun night. His gift this year was to welcome his very own pet, Rusty the Red (a beta fish).
For Abe's ninth birthday, he was adamant that we go to the trampoline park. There is something about Abe's energy level that has been firecracker style since he was born. He had the best time running and jumping with all of his friends in a semi-post-covid world. What he wanted most for his 9th birthday was a real typewriter. Unfortunately, I could not find one that made sense for a 9-year-old, so I got him a good clicky keyboard to go with his tablet.
I cannot wait to see where he wants to go for his special "mom and dad" trip for his 10th birthday. So far his #1 choice is Panther's football game in Charlotte. There is something very sentimental about having kids so close in age. Every milestone we celebrate for Van, Jeanie is right around the corner...and so is Abe! It's all going by so quickly and I know one day we will be happy to look back on all the fun celebrations.
