Teague celebrated his 12th birthday on a Wednesday. As it was his second in quarantine, we had him, his siblings, and Leonard play hooky from school and work to play all day.
He chose the menu for the day starting with a Grand Slam breakfast of French toast, hash browns, bacon, yogurt, and orange juice.
We had tortilla chips with salsa con queso for lunch, while we watched Alvin and The Chipmunks.
(We then watched the 3 sequels the next 3 nights in a row.)
Teague could only think of one gift he wanted for his birthday- Ready, Freddy books. When shopping online (since we're in major lockdown and I can't visit a bookstore), I was finding the new books for $20 a piece on Amazon. ca, um no thank you. I found a used book store that sold them for $4 each, that's more like it. At that price we went through every title and ordered every one we didn't already have- 22! Unfortunately, only 3 arrived for his birthday, but when the others arrive it makes his birthday last longer!
We also played the White Elephant game with 7 different chocolate bars. It was fun to watch the kids (and maybe the parents too) stealing their favorite ones from each other. We face-timed with Noé, and Teague spoke to both of his sets of grandparents. Mother Nature also gave him a gift- snow! We woke up with the neighborhood sprinkled in it (and the next day too), but it didn't take long for it to melt off.
For dinner he requested double-decker tacos, yum!
For his birthday dessert, he requested donuts from Suzy Q.
Happy Birthday to you!
Teague has two girlfriends, ha ha!
He chose well and we were all excited to share this dessert with him.
Happy Birthday Teague! We love the wonderful young man that you are and we hope you have a terrific new year being 12!
