A Decade Old

Though Ammon officially turned 10 last Saturday, I'm just getting around to posting pics of his happy day.

This year he is obsessed with Yu-gi-oh, so I covered the top of his cake with his very own Yu-gi-oh card I made on the computer. Ammon laughed hysterically while he read the card, which showed a picture of him and was titled "Birthday Flame Quencher." The cake, by the way, was a homemade ice cream cake which looked like a huge ice cream sandwich before I frosted it.

For his birthday Ammon received (surprise surprise) lots of Yu-gi-oh cards, be he also managed to score a skateboard from his parents and a cool multi-tool from his Grandpa Putnam.

You may be wondering why Ammon is dressed so warmly. Well, he had just returned from the ward campout. The whole family was planning on going, but Daniel came down with a fever the day before and we didn't want to risk taking him. So I stayed home with the three youngest while the older boys toughed it out with their dad. Ammon had a good time but they all complained about the tight squeeze in the 2-3 man tent (apparently the 2-3 men need to be really short toothpicks to actually fit). And because there was a fire ban, there was no campfire and no hot breakfast. I wish I had photos but they didn't take the camera with them. Shucks.
