9th Birthday!

Today is Will's 9th birthday! Wow! Nine years old. It seems unreal.

He woke up earlier than usual this morning and discovered that it snowed last night! We got about 4-5 inches, and it has continued to snow all day long. A snow day would have been great but the roads were drivable, so school was open. Bummer! We let him open gifts this morning, and then he enjoyed his choice of birthday breakfast--toaster strudel (truly a treat at our house because I'm known as the "sugar sheriff"!) Right now he's playing the new game he got for his Game Cube--Narnia, and in a little while we're going to order pizza. We couldn't squeeze a birthday party into the weekend, but have something planned for next weekend with about 3-4 of his friends. You know we like to stretch these birthday celebrations out as long as we possibly can. All in all he's had a GREAT day.

Maybe...just maybe...I'll post a picture of the birthday boy later.
