Ten.

I cannot believe we have a TEN YEAR OLD. I swear he was just born yesterday. We celebrated during this crazy time in a very unique way.

Tuttle started his birthday with doughnuts delivered from his best buddies. They were left at the front door due to social distancing, but we quickly pounced on them.

I told all three kids that we would not do any school work all day. Tuttle could do exactly as he wanted all day which I know would include hours of video games.

Maggie convinced him to play soccer outside which worked perfectly for our secret car parade. I sent out the word that we would love friends and family to drive by between 11:30-12:00 to recognize the birthday boy. They could honk, make signs, and yell from their cars. Over 20 cars showed up, and Tuttle was absolutely thrilled to see so many special people that he had not seen in months. This is definitely a birthday he will never forget!

Grandmommy and Grandaddy visited in the front yard six feet away from us for the parade, and they brought his gift to open in person. I think their gift was the biggest hit of the day: a hooverboard!

Tuttle also received a new bike from Gram and Grumps a day early. He is set to spend more time outside!

Maggie made Tuttle a homemade pinata out of an Amazon box (to support Daddy!) to look like a Nintendo Switch. It was completely her idea. They might fight constantly, but Maggie sure loves her big brother.

The birthday also included Tuttle's favorite meals: tacos and Bubba Burgers with fries. Tuttle rated his birthday a 10/10. He is so resilient during this quarantine. 

I swear he looks bigger now that he crossed into double digits. Happy birthday to our boy! We are so lucky to have you as ours.
