Here he is folks in all his 11 year old glory! I have to say this is my favorite age yet. Hank's personality is really shining through and he is so much fun to be around. He has the best group of friends who love to laugh and have a good time. Hank is excelling in school, sports, and life in general. I'm one proud mama.
Clear goggles for his new found love of night skiing.
New running shoes in a manly size 6!
Sam and Griffers had to give him a proper send off before he headed to school.
After delivering donuts to his class, I checked Hank out for lunch at one of his favorite restaurants, Costa Vida. We had quite the crew join us in our celebration.
After our lunch date, I didn't have the heart to make him go back to school on his birthday. I'm such a sucker. Oh well, you only turn 11 once.
He had one request for his birthday and that was dinner at Tepanyaki.
This kid enjoys himself some Japanese steakhouse deliciousness.
After dinner we had all the family over to party.
Books, books, and more books! Boy does this family know Hank. He loves to read and has a whole new crop of fantasy genre books in his arsenal. I'm so impressed with his love of books. I wish I could say he got it from me, or Randy for that matter.
He even willingly posed for birthday pics!
Watching Hank grow up is my greatest joy. I'm amazed by his ability to make everything look easy. He is such a special boy, I can't wait to see what the future holds for him.
Thank you for making me a mom sweetie! I'll love you forever and ever with all my heart.
