His only request was that it was chicken. I wanted to try a new recipe but was smart enough to stick with what I knew he liked so we had a family favorite, Honey Mustard Chicken. As you can tell from the photo, the chicken is already gone off his plate before I could snap the picture!
After dinner he opened his birthday presents. He was so excited to get $ from everyone! Family from Utah and Washington all sent him $ which made for a lot of groans from Molly (ha!) as Reid now has as much money as her and she's been working longer to earn it. :)
James and I gave him a year membership to club lego. They will send him different things: some lego sets, newsletters, etc., throughout the year. This was the only thing he really wanted other than money he is trying to save to buy himself a laptop. He is our family entrepreneur.
He also received all the items he needed now that he is a E.Y.O. (eleven year old) scout. He got his boy scout book, his new shirt, new council patch and numbers...
and his new hat, which features a brand new design the boy scouts just released.
After opening his gifts he went to cub scouts for the last time! His leaders were kind enough to bring cupcakes for everyone to celebrate his birthday.
Then when Reid and Chase came home from scouts we celebrated with Reid's choice of brownies and root beer floats!
Happy 11th birthday Reid! You are an extraordinary young man. You are a wonderful helper, very kind-hearted, accepting of others' differences, intelligent and driven. We love you very much!
