When he woke up he new since it was his birthday he could pretty much get what ever he wanted for breakfast so he chose McD's. The cinnamelts are yum.
He wanted to pick out a mask for Halloween so we went to the Spirit store to look around. They sure do have pretty creepy stuff there.
With some of his birthday money he bought beyblades. He used to have them when Mason was little, but the stadium broke and he eventually stopped playing with them, but they're back and even cooler this time round, of course. We didn't have a party planned, so George invited a couple friends over to hang out and play the beyblades with him.
11 candles and 11 wishes.
Mason, Blake, Justin, George and CJ. These boys are friends from church and school. He plays football with Justin and CJ also.
Saturday night we went to a big Halloween party. One of the reasons we didn't plan a party was because we were going to this one and all his friends would be there too. There are advantages to having your birthday one day before Halloween.
These are most of the friends at the party.
A family in our ward has a couple of barns on their property and they put on a huge party. Multiple wards were invited, so lots and lots of people were there. They had games for the kids, a bouncy house, bon fires, a live band, a mildly haunted forest that we rode thru on a hay ride, lots of yummy food and a haunted barn, which was so fun. Just the right amount of scary, perfect for families, unless you have extra sensitive kids. For a homemade haunted barn it was awesome, very impressed. We went through it twice.

After the party George had wanted to go to IHOP to finish off his birthday, so we invited a couple of families to go with us. 17 of us in all. It was a great ending to a great day. I think George had one of the best birthdays. We just celebrated all day long.
