So I can finally tell you about Aidan's 11th birthday party. He loved his family gifts. The bike and Ireland/shadow box I made him was a big hit. as were the very, very cool brother gifts. He was SO sad that it was raining and we would not be able to go through with his birthday wishes but pulled it together and spend the morning putting together games.
