Happy Birthday Gideon...

 My two 9-year olds.  They are 9 together for 2 days!

 Kevin just won't cooperate with getting his picture taken.

 Kevin and I took Gideon out to eat at a restaurant of his choice.  He chose China King buffet.  Mmmm.  I know I loved and ate way too much.  While we were gone the girls were busy constructing his birthday cake.  I had Gideon convinced we were only having ice cream and that there were no presents because it was going out to eat or getting a gift.  I asked him what would he have chosen: gift or out to eat?  He said out to eat.  Well, I was not serious about no presents or the cake so he was happy! 

 See Lena's mouth puckered to blow. Gideon had a little troubled getting them all out.

 Gideon and his dragon!

 For a birthday activity we colored masks and I have a few Zorros in the house.

 Center of the show!

 Measuring the birthday boy to see how much he grew!

The birthday kid writes their name under the line and dates it.  Gideon is a little shorter than Rebekah and Caleb at the age of nine.
