Dear Zander,
Happy 11th birthday! This is the last birthday you will celebrate in elementary school, and we tried to enjoy all the things that I believe you will be "too cool" for in the upcoming years! I brought cupcakes to school on Friday so you could celebrate with your class (thank you Grammy for picking those up). Daddy is planning to bring you lunch tomorrow from Chick-fil-a (birthday boy requested). You have requested cash for your birthday this year so you can save up to buy a Go Pro. This past month has been incredibly busy and fun! We enjoyed a trip to Houston, TX and had soccer games, etc. to entertain us on your actual birthday weekend. We celebrated your birthday with your four best friends over Spring Break (go back to that post to see the fun you had at Spare Time)! You have had an incredible year as a 10 year old. You were with your brother when he accepted Jesus as his Savior. You learned how to water ski! You got to take some amazing trips to the beach with family, to the mountains with your church friends and to Texas (which required an airplane flight)! This year has had some challenges. You have had to say goodbye to your first grandparent and your childhood pet. You have had all As or As/Bs on each report card as a 10 year old. You continue to excel in school, be a leader at our church and show kindness as a friend. I am constantly impressed with your optimism and compassion for others. You are incredibly talented and incredibly humble. You love soccer and enjoy playing left winger (bonus when you score a goal at your games). You tried travel soccer this year for the first time and have enjoyed a sport year-round, making lasting friendships. You have gone through two memorization books in T&T and will get the Timothy Award at the ceremony in May (an incredibly hard and rare level to reach). I am so very thankful you are my son and am so proud of the young man you are becoming. Thank you for making me a mommy 11 years ago! I love you!
Love, Mommy :)
Soccer games on your actual birthday... it was wet and in the 40s!
