One Decade Older

Jason turned the big 3-0 this past weekend, and we spent the whole weekend celebrating.  On Friday night, I fufilled two of his greatest Indiana wishes by taking him to a particular store and restaurant that neither of us will ever admit to until the day we die.  Ever.  So don't ask. 

 On Saturday he had a late night with the guys and Sunday was the grand finale- cake and presents.  Jason already knew what most of his presents were thanks to Black Friday deals that we couldn't pass up, but I still dragged out the suspense of the gift giving with a game of "Morales Family Showdown: The Birthday Edition"! 

He had to earn each gift by completing a series of Jason-related trivia questions, a physical challenge (including running around the backyard in the snow) and then solving a clue that led him to a hidden present.  I know, apparently I have a lot of time on my hands. 

Why yes, that is my 30-year-old husband spinning around on a unicorn.

Actually, the whole game only took me about 10 minutes to set up and we still had a great time.  Leah was quite helpful with reading the trivia questions, Adam handed over the clues, and Jason loved it all.  If there is anything that boy loves more than a good deal, it's a surprise.  Thankfully, for this birthday, he got both. 

Patiently waiting for a slice of birthday cake.

This has been a good year and a good decade.  We are excited to see what the thirties have in store for our family.  Happy Birthday, Jason!
