Kristjan celebrated double digits this year. 10 years old!! Birthday celebrations started on Friday with his friend party. We went with a movie theme this year with a popcorn bar and lots of candy! For the birthday cake, he wanted the Marionette from FNAF, so I tried my hand at using fondant for the first time. Because I'm a perfectionist, Peter ended up helping me out at the very end at creating the Marionette face. It turned out pretty good. As for the cake itself, it was a three-layered chocolate cake...that NO one ate! The kids were too busy wanting to get back to playing around (Peter and I enjoyed a slice for breakfast the next day lol). At the end of the party, Kristjan's best bud Cameron spent the night. I'm guessing there wasn't much sleeping going on during the night because Kristjan took a 3 hour nap the next day.
On his actual birthday (Sunday), Kristjan got to open up his gifts once everyone was ready for the day. The boy got spoiled with Legos, Beanie Boos and My Little Pony....all his favorite! He spent the morning and early afternoon playing with his new toys before we headed out so he could spend his birthday cash. First we stopped at Toys 'R Us so he could buy two new My Little Dolls that he's had his eye one, along with with a Mystery Box which contained a figurine of Kirito (a character he likes from Sword Art Online). Next stop was the mall. Peter took Clifford to spend the rest of his bday money at Gamestop while I took Kristjan to the Lego Store and Build-A-Bear. Later that night, after Clifford's basketball game, we grabbed some take-out at Panda Express (Kristjan's birthday dinner of choice). We ended the night with ice cream sundaes and a movie. Kristjan would agree that he had an awesome birthday this year!

Here's Kristjan after tucking him in bed. This is how he sleeps. He surrounds himself with all his stuffies (as he likes to call them). Tonight he booted out all the normal stuffed animals and now has just Beanie Boos. The crazy thing is every morning when I go to wake him up, none of those stuffed animals fall out of his bed! I'm not sure how he gets a good night sleep...
