Raymond turned 11! I can’t believe it! We partied hard that day and fit a lot in. We took the friends to top golf and ordered snacks and played and Then did cake and Ice cream as a family. It was a busy day but turned out great. Ray has a good friend group that he has really started hanging out with this year. He is still a shorty but kids and teachers love him.
