We celebrated James' 11th birthday today. His original plan was to stay up until midnight last night to experience the exact moment he turned 11, just like Harry Potter did. But, by 10:00pm, he said he would rather just go to bed.
For lunch, we had James' favorite: Campbell's tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I bought all the soup bowl/plate sets in Poland last fall while on a pottery shopping trip.
Brownie mix makes a decent birthday cake.
James first gift was his buff he forgot at Mimi and Deeda's house in Massachusetts last Christmas.
New English-language books are worth their weight in gold in our family. Guinness gave James two Gatekeepers books.
Fútbol Club Barcelona is his current favorite soccer team.
Opening the big box
A look of disbelief...
...and pure happiness at opening an electric drumset.
The most important part of the whole drumset. These headphones should save us from being thrown out of the neighborhood.

Thanks to lots of practice on the Rockband video game, James already has some idea of what he's doing. With the electric drum set, you can plug your ipod into the sound system and play along with Green Day.
James should start drum lessons at school soon. He already has the grungy hair style.

I didn't realize James and Lily (my daughter) were the same age. He is such a cutie, don't tell him I said that ;) I noticed the polish pottery right away. I must say, you definitely have the birthday party thing figured out (cake, candles, wrapping paper, etc) I was greatly impressed. Miss you
