Noah is 11!

Noah turned 11 years old on Thursday! He opted for no party this year and decided he just wanted to pick out a few things to do as a family. He chose BBQ meatballs and blackberries for dinner. Grandparents came over for chocolate chess pie and presents (and of course a scavenger hunt!) after dinner. He had a great night and enjoyed his special evening. 

His scavenger hunt was made of 11 questions and he LOVED it! His big present was dirtbike clothes and I only got one picture as he found his present. 

On Friday it was potential icy roads so our county did a virtual day which meant the kiddos were able to stay home! Aaron worked from home, and it was such a treat to have everyone here all day. Noah tried on his camo shirt! 

Today our plans were to go out to lunch in Auburn and then play mini golf. But it was too cold for outdoor games (high in upper 30s, low 40s) and some roads we'd have to travel might have been icy so we told him we'll go on the next weekend possible. 

He chose our special snack today that we will enjoy during the opening race of Supercross tonight (dirtbike racing) and he is pumped about that! 

Noah, 

You are sweet, funny, spunky, literal, and joyous. You have taken to dirtbike riding so well and enjoy any opportunity you can go practice. Police cars still hold a special place in your heart and this brings me great joy. You are a snacker and you still prefer savory things over sweet. You love pickles and olives and are increasing your spice tolerance. It's a bit of a challenge sometimes to get you to think about what you'd like without worrying what others would want instead, because you are so kind hearted. You definitely enjoy being outside a lot and your imagination and ability to self entertain is strong! We've been working out as a family and it's so fun to see your enthusiasm each night as we go through the exercises. You are a jokester sometimes and love to creep up on me in the mornings as a fun way to let me know you're awake! It's so fun to see you grow & mature and start catching onto jokes and enjoy the shows your dad and I like and spend time with us and play games, etc. You are a treasure, Noah! I love you so much! Continue to seek Jesus earnestly and always. 

I love you! 

Love, Mom
