Jude is 12

How is this possible? It feels like yesterday I was just celebrating his first birthday 🙁

Generally we go on a cruise, a quick getaway or Tough Mudder, but this year he wanted a small party with his closest friends and a video game truck, so we did just that. The Christmas Elves prepped the dining room overnight (as usual) and he requested bubble waffles for breakfast.

This boy is almost my height, is in middle school and soon enough will grow puberty, and I don’t think I am ready for that :-/

For now, we are enjoying his last days of pure innocence, wit and curiosity. At school he loves music, PE, Arts, English (Homeroom), Science and History. Social studies, math and religion, not so much.

The party was exactly what he asked for and we had a great experience with Gaming On Wheels, we highly recommend them.
