Bowen's 12th!!

Yesterday was Bowen's 12th birthday.  I can't quite believe he is 12 already.  Bowen is such a great kid.  He's very animated, funny, smart, clever, kind and quite the talker.  He's very passionate about things he loves and can talk about them for hours - to whoever will listen.

On Saturday Bowen asked 4 friends over for a little birthday party.  I was in charge of food and Bowen was in charge of activities.  They played on the Wii for a bit and then it was time for lunch.  Pizza and chips of course.

More games and then it was time for cake and presents.  Bowen doesn't really like cake but his favourite is chocolate dessert so I made him that.  It was a hit with his friends as well and they all had 2 servings.

Bowen got some great gifts from his friends.  They knew him well and had all bought him Pokemon sets except one friend who got him a gift card - which I'm sure he'll use on a Pokemon set.

His brother and sister seemed thrilled with the festivities.  \

Then back to more games before everyone got picked up.  Bowen had a great time and it was certainly an easy, and inexpensive party to host.

After school and work yesterday we went out as a family to one of Bowen's favourite restaurants, Red Lobster, for dinner.  Then home for presents.  Bowen was happy with his gifts.

Yummy Birthday Donuts!!

Happy Birthday Bowen!  Hope your 12th year is a fabulous one!
