My firstborn turned 10 last week. Which is strange, because his mother is still 29.
Joseph's birthday was Wednesday. Tuesday night, after Joseph was in bed, I got his brothers up so they could decorate the kitchen windows for the birthday boy.

The finished products:
Joshua really loved the window crayons, and added more things over the next several days.
After school Wednesday we went to Yogurt Mountain, opened the grandparents' gifts while on Skype with them, and went to a Mexican Restaurant for supper. Finally, half an hour before bedtime, it was time to open presents from us:
Here is Joseph opening the Ninjago gift he was wanting but wasn't sure I remembered:
Clearly, we could have gotten him just this and he would have been sufficiently excited.
However, we had also gotten him an ipod touch that he was not anticipating at all. Let's watch him open it:

And so it begins: brothers huddled around, watching him play on a tiny screen:
Happy Birthday, Joseph!
(Birthday party post to follow.)
