Crawdad's Early Birthday

It's not technically his birthday yet, but we have a surprise for him on his actual birthday that will take all weekend, so we decided to do presents early so he'd have time to play with them before our trips. :)

I can't believe my little boy is turning 10. Double digits. Wow, I blinked and he got big. :)

He opens presents like his Mama, carefully peeling the paper back and peeking at the present. :)

Pool cue replacement.

He wanted this Tails stuffed animal at 6 Flags, but it was just a display at a game booth. You couldn't even win one. Lame! But Papa Bear found him one at Toys R Us. A big hit, I think. :)

Tails from the front. He has the little animal in the same pose that he's in, but it's hard to tell since the thing's hands are the same color as it's face. :P

Cub's gift to him--a Lego item. He's pretty happy about this one, too. :)

Happy Birthday to yooooooooooooou!

Trying to lick ice cream cake off his elbow. Nice try, kid, but I don't think that's gonna work. :P

Now, licking your fingers is another story. :)

Crawdad and Taz keep stealing the sleeping bag that Cub got for his birthday, so we gave Crawdad one for his birthday. Of course, Taz had to have her own, as well. (Otherwise, she'd just steal Crawdad's! LOL)

He's always had the absolute best expressions. :)
