Wow, all I can say is Wow….my oldest is 12. \u00a0I am watching my boys turn from kids to young men. \u00a0It’s happening too fast!<\/p>\n

Little brother “R” decided to give “A” a scavenger hunt first thing in the morning to welcome “A’s” birthday.<\/p>\n

Writing up the hints…<\/p>\n

Our family tradition is to create a day that the birthday boy wants. \u00a0This begins with breakfast. \u00a0This year, ‘A’ requested the same breakfast that “buddy the Elf” had in the movie Elf. \u00a0We actually had a holiday neighborhood breakfast on ‘A’s birthday, so he decided to wait one more day for his special breakfast. \u00a0I videotaped it, but it’s too large to post here.<\/p>\n

Here is his breakfast: Spaghetti with maple syrup, sprinkles, mini-marshmallows, Hershey’s chocolate syrup, M&M’s, and Frosted Chocolate Fudge Pop-Tarts.<\/p>\n

HE LOVED IT! \u00a0Once a year, I’m a “yes” mom, and this one really tested my boundaries…<\/p>\n

On to ice skating! \u00a0We went to a place that had both and indoor and outdoor rink. \u00a0We all skated. \u00a0It gets a little harder for me each year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Mikuni’s has a wheel that you spin on your birthday. \u00a0‘A’ won a bag of rice \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

We went to a movie. \u00a0I don’t recall what…<\/p>\n

Cupcakes to finish the day…<\/p>\n
