The big 1 1

For Alan's 11th Birthday party, he wanted to just invite a few friends over to play some video games and have pizza. (At our house, the kids only get to play video games once a week on Saturday, and only after their chores/homework/piano practicing are done. So it's a big deal to be able to play video games in our family) I was more than happy to agree to that party idea.

It was the easiest birthday party we've ever had. Because he's 11, I don't really pay attention to what he's putting on, and I didn't notice his fashion choices until after the party had started. Oh well.

He got a U-Command Wall-E, which is basically a robot that he controls with a wireless remote. He was so excited to get it. He's wanted that since Christmas.

And of course it wouldn't be Alan's Birthday if there weren't something resembling Star Wars. He asked for a cake that just said "Star Wars" on it. Funny. But it's so Alan.

Activity Days video!

This a video we did to help the 8-11 year olds in our primary accomplish one of their goals in theif Faith in God books. Part of the goal was "Tell a story from the book of Mormon that exemplifies faith in Christ". We decided it would be fun to make a movie!
