Evan's Birthday

On October 18th Evan turned 13!! Crazy, I know!! His birthday was on a Monday so on the Saturday before, my mom and I took him to the mall to pick out some clothes. He got a couple of outfits from Hollister and then one from Aeropostle. We also took him to ToysRUs to pick out a couple of Lego sets...he was in heaven!! Then later Saturday night the kids and I went to ITZ. It's the same concept as Chuck E Cheese's but geared more towards bigger kids. We had dinner at the all you can eat buffet and then played games and rode rides for an hour and a half. As much as I was dreading it, we actually had a lot of fun together =) So Evan thought he'd gotten all his gifts already but we surprised Monday night after his birthday dinner. We had him look for some presents around the house playing the hot and cold game...he found things like socks, underwear, tshirts, etc. Then on the last gift as he was looking for it he heard some saxophone music playing (my mom called his new cell phone) He was right by where it was hidden and it took him like two seconds to find it!! He was so happy he almost cried!! He's been wanting a phone for while now and it was pretty cool to see him so happy!!
