So this guy is now 11 years old! We started celebrating the night before, with a trip to Rundle Mall. Here's (almost) 11 year old Micah in front of the Malls Balls (when my camera was still taking good pics).
Fruchocs (a local Australian food company selling candy that has a peach/apricot core covered in chocolate) was having a Customer Appreciation event in Rundle Mall - they were giving out free Krispy Kreme donuts with Frochocs on top. Yes, please!
Verdict: the chocolate donuts were better. The strawberry ones were way too sweet. Anyway, after that, Micah chose a pancake restaurant for dinner, so he followed up his pre-dinner donut snack with a pancake, covered in whipped cream, regular syrup, chocolate syrup, AND sprinkles. Yep, we're smart parents :)
(cue the average, slightly grainy pictures)
Micah invited a few new friends from school over for his party, and we were excited that two could come. I picked up this Bingo game (brand new) at a secondhand store for $3, so we played several rounds of bingo. Yep, our parties rock!
Micah really wanted to have a 'friend' party here at our apartment, so he could play video games; so that's what they did!
We also made pizza, complete with REAL. AMERICAN. PEPPERONI. thanks to awesome Aunt Melanie, who paid an arm and a leg to ship us some, along with Micah's gift :) Micah's Australian friends liked it very much! But no way did I let them use it all. I'm rationing it until the end of November.
Homemade chocolate cake with ELEVEN candles. How is that even possible.
I'm so mad that all these images are blurry. . . bad camera.
Micah's present from us: a ball moving thingy. I can't really describe it, but these types of toys are right up Micah's alley. Now, to figure out how many extra suitcases we'll need, to bring home all the new stuff we've accumulated here. . .
We finished off the evening with a game night at church, where they sang Happy Birthday to Micah AGAIN and he ate cake AGAIN. It was a pretty great day!
