A party to kick off winter break

Seth was invited to his first birthday party outside of his best friends, Josh & JoHanna. On Thursday he was pretty nervous since school was cancelled that it would be cancelled on Friday too. If that happened then how could he ride the bus home with Derek and would he still have his birthday party?

We went shopping for a present, which took quite some time. Seth forgot what Derek wanted for his birthday. I pointed out an Ant Farm and Seth knew Derek would love it. "Let's get me one too!" He placed a second one in the cart. "Um, no bud, Christmas is next week." We moved along to the next aisle to fine a second gift. Seth starts pointing out a bunch of things, like a keyboard ($86), remote helicopter ($38), a new pedal bike ($50+), a sporty looking sled with skis ($60+), and the list continued of spendy gifts. We finally settled on a plastic snowboard with a rope and handle. That was even after trying to figure out how he'd get by carrying it to school and taking it on the bus to Derek's house.

Seth had a lot of fun at the party. He told Derek's mom to blame me if the farm broke and ants invaded his house. What a sweet boy I have.
