Celebrating Jonathan

Jonathan turned 13 last Friday.  We haven't had his big birthday party yet, but we did celebrate him on his big day.

Jonathan woke up to find pigs-in-a-blanket for breakfast and one small present.

You can tell he was still sleepy (his hair is sticking up everywhere)!  He opened a small present Friday morning before school.  Fred and I got him the Pirates Band of Misfits movie and the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book (it is so below his reading level, but those books are still fun to this teenager).

After work and school, Jonathan opened a present from Jess.  She was so sweet and got him some candy and the ParaNorman DVD.  After we opened presents, we met our friends Abie and Stacey at Fuddruckers for dinner.  Jonathan coughed non-stop through dinner (we had no idea that he was still fighting strep).  Other than his awful cough, we had a great dinner and great time celebrating our boy.

Jess and I picked out a cookie-cake for him, since is not a big fan of birthday cakes.

On Saturday, Jess and Fred took him to Game Stop to pick out his "big" present.  He ended up with a Cabela's hunting game for the X-box.  Wa-hoo!  We can hunt from the comfort of our own living room.  I wonder if I need to break out my pink Realtree camo sweatshirt when I play?

We are still working on a party at Main Event.  Jonathan wants to do the gravity ropes.  I tried to persuade him to choose an indoor wall climbing type place, but that was a big no!  He did the gravity ropes last year on his birthday, so now he will just do it every year until we finally talk him into a different activity.  He is not a man of change!

We were so glad that we could celebrate Jonathan's big day with him.
