Owen Turns 9

The third week of September is all birthday, all the time at our house. Once we finished celebrating Miles and Liem on the 19th, Owen was waiting for his turn on the 23rd. Another tradition from my childhood that we have continued is the birthday boy (or girl, in my case) gets to choose what meal they would like on the night of their birthday. Owen chose sushi for the second year in a row.

To finish off birthday week Owen had a party with some friends from his class. We planned to take the boys mini golfing. Unfortunately it rained and rained that day so we moved on to plan B, which was (gulp) Chuck E. Cheese. Even though I despise the place, the boys had a grand time. Then we loaded up into our two cars and came back to our house for pizza and a pinata.

Birthday week is over until next year......or at least until November when Eli turns 2.
