Caleb's 11th Birthday

Caleb turned 11 on May 5th!  
He woke up to birthday signs in the yard ...
and a few decorations around the house! 
He requested chicken minis for breakfast but we also had to do our traditional "11" pancakes! 
Mammy brought breakfast and stayed to play games. 
The Browns brought over a sweet treat. 
YUM! 
Ella was so happy to get to hold Macie! 
Ready for his birthday parade 
Here is most of the parade - my video cut out and I didn't realize it!  We had about 30 cars full of our family and best friends.  Caleb loved it and felt so special.  He also racked up on gifts! 
Some of the signs and cards he got! 
Kent's car 
Several cars had silly string and that was so fun!
Caleb requested pizza and baked beans for dinner! 
Family pictures 

Cake Time!
Caleb requested an ice cream cake 
Birthday boy! 
Blowing out his candles and making a wish!

It was a different birthday without a birthday party but still a good day!
