Happy birthday to this kid! He's informed me he's a preteen now, although he's not a persistent about it as his older brother was, haha. We had so much fun celebrating him this year, with a fun Nerf birthday party with his friends. We did Nerf cake pops, and tons of treats (a few of his faves...Takis and sour patch watermelons too), and pizza! The kids had a blast with the gun packs and the obstacles we put up for the party. After it was over, we put the jumper back up that we still had from Dawson's party and some of the kids stayed later...I think the after party was as much fun as the rest, and I wouldn't have guessed that a bunch of 11 year olds would love a jumper as much as the 4-5 year olds! He especially loved having all of his favorite people in one place at the same time.
After all the friends were gone, we gave him the presents from us. We were super excited to give him some catcher's gear for his upcoming baseball season. He was able to play the position last season some. He really enjoyed it and seems to have a knack for it too! We are so thankful to have Beckett in our family and for all of the amazing things he does. Yay for eleven year old Beckett!!
Some fun facts about B:
