Here's a few photos of Zach's big day...turning double digits. After swimming first thing in the morning and Nick's tennis practice, we picked up Subway and headed over to GG and GD for lunch. The guy at Subway heard it was his b-day and called him a "Double Digit Midget" :). Zach hung out with GG and GD until dinner time when they came over for dinner along with Granny. His choice for dinner was shrimp and chicken along with sauteed mushrooms/onions, fruit salad and wild rice...a menu I will definitely choose to redo. After dinner, the Bertelsen's came to join us for dessert: lemon meringue pie and a cake decorated as a rainbow trout. The inside of the cake was "rainbow"...thus really being the rainbow :). Todd was an expert at carving out and decorating the cake like he has done many times through the years for the boys.
His big gift from us and my parents was an IPOD Nano which he had been wanting for a long time. Being a persistent person, I don't think there was a day that he didn't remind me that it was the "only thing that I want" and it had to be either grey or black. He was not disappointed and was very pleased. Since it got it, he has added quite a lot of "tunes" to it and loves it. He also enjoyed and appreciated his other gifts from family.
Although we have offered it many times, Z does not ever want a big birthday party. There is not a bigger "ham" in the world than Zach, but when it comes down to a party for him, he doesn't like the single focus on him and is uncomfortable with it, so he chooses his special day to be just the way he likes it. Can't believe he is already 10 years old. I really don't like how quickly time goes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY...DOUBLE DIGIT MIDGET!
