once again i get the lame mother award. i'm 19 days late in posting ham's birthday and i didn't have anything planned for his big day. we talked about having a party at the bowling alley but when you're a winter baby, the bowling alley has been used to death. we talked about having it at a nearby indoor water park but between the weather and the 3 hour drive, it was iffy. we also talked about waiting till summer to celebrate with his friends. i told him we could take a few days over at cedar point since they have a water park too. he's not too keen on roller coasters so we will see if this actually happens. and he never told me what he wanted for his birthday. it was between an iphone, itouch or some other kind of ipod. he finally chose the itouch, which i still need to order. i wanted to engrave something cool on the back to mark this historical occasion but he totally nixed the idea. whats wrong with "happy sweet 16th ham or ham i am, i am ham or hamtastic"? i was just kidding by the way but it was fun to see his reaction. it will say "hamilton, 2009" just like on his old ipod nano. i did get him a chalet cup with a $ sign on it just so he would have something to open. we then headed over to the big mall so he could spend his gift cards+big money from christmas. we had reservations for dinner at his favorite place, hani yori's. the only place he will be seen in public with us without much fuss. the following monday night dinner was at grandma's house per his request. he said all the cousins are too loud in our house and he wanted grandma's famous beef and noodles for dinner. i got him a speed racer cake but exchanged the car to something more his style, some sort of a scion tc. grandpa thought he would be funny and put a dollar in his card as his birthday present. that's him making his famous "grandpa face" in the photos above. ham said between christmas, gift cards + his birthday he made well over $1000.00. looking back i wish i had planned a surprise party for him. hindsights a bitch. with my track record guess i should start planning now for his sweet 18th.
