We also celebrated Andrew's tenth birthday party with a party at the aquatic center and a bunch of his friends from school. That wound out being just about perfect, because they had plenty to do, they could be as energetic as they wanted and they didn't destroy my house (and I didn't have to clean!) After the kids were done swimming, we had cake and presents in another room at the center. After the kids went home, we had dinner at Alberto's (Andrew's pick) and then drove to see some of the lights in town. All in all, a pretty close to perfect day for our birthday boy. (Well, his birthday isn't until Thursday, but we wanted to celebrate before everyone left for the holidays).
To celebrate the end of school, the kids and I went sledding Friday afternoon--and again on Saturday with Dan. The sun was shining, it was almost warm, but the thick snow from earlier in the week (see photos above) was still on the hill so the sledding was great. The kids especially enjoyed breaking in our newest sled.
All the fun wiped Oliver out. He took a nice long nap and then snuggled with his dad when he woke up (I was busy making pomegranate jam).
