Sebastian turns 11!

It was 11/11, and our boy turned 11. Amazing. We had a delightful day, starting with waffles, bacon, eggs, and berries for breakfast.

We continued on to presents - a Barca jersey, a new soccer ball, the Guinness book of world records, a remote control Ferrari car.

And then there was the scavenger hunt, of course! Steve made Sebastian's pretty challenging this year and he needed some clues and help to find them all. But his grand prize was a new bike!!! 

The important things taken care of, we headed over to the field to drive the new remote control car around the track and test out the new soccer ball. We got distracted by all the leaves blowing down over the field and started playing our family game to catch them midair as they fell. It was so fun - we laughed and dove and groaned and celebrated and chased leaves all over. Jasper was very interested in what we were doing and ate a few leaves before figuratively rolling his eyes and ignoring us.

And then we had to take Steve to the airport, because he had work in Sacramento that afternoon. (He caught a noon flight south and a dinnertime flight back home.) After we dropped him off, we headed to REI to pick out this awesome Diamondback bike. Sebastian was thrilled with it.
