I told him we wouldn&#8217;t be doing a big party this year, but I was hoping for a day trip or an activity with a friend, or something! But, alas, life is busy and 12 is coming up fast! He wasn&#8217;t very interest in any of my ideas, and tomorrow, his big day, I have a meeting after school, Alan has a meetings, and Eve has a concert. Everyone is busy, but him! We are going to sneak in a dinner at Panera between my meeting and Eve&#8217;s concert.<\/p>\n<p>I was looking for presents to wrap yesterday and, though I swear I had a pile for him&#8230; umm&#8230; I guess I do not. :\/ We have little toys that Eve bought and I bought him some PJs the other days, but nothing exciting. Alan decided to order him a big present (laptop! shhhh&#8230; don&#8217;t tell!). He had it overnighted, but that still leaves me with not much excitement for the big birthday morning. :\/<\/p>\n<p>Can we just skip birthday&#8217;s this year? He can be eleven for a bit longer. Next year I&#8217;ll have more time and brainpower to focus on him. I love him forever though, even if life is busy! I hung his birthday collages just now. He was such an adorable baby, and turning into a super handsome young man. &lt;3<\/p>\n<p>PS. Apparently 12 is the year the gross jokes birthday cards start arriving. He laughed and an unsure sort of way. :)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170524_200221-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16094 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170524_200221-1-500x463.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170524_200221-1-500x463.jpg 500w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170524_200221-1-768x712.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170524_200221-1-1024x949.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170524_200221-1-324x300.jpg 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This handsome fella is turning twelve tomorrow and I a feeling very guilty about our complete lack of plans.
