This is one of the posts I look forward to most each year. 20 Questions on Ezra’s 11th birthday, a blog tradition that I began a couple of years ago, after seeing the idea on Reaves Party of 4 blog. Every year, I ask my boys the same set of questions on their birthdays. It’s so interesting to see what’s changed since Ezra’s 10th Birthday Interview.
So what’s new with Ezra on his 11th birthday? Well, football and apple juice are still going strong. Bacon sandwiches have lost their grip on the lunch menu, in favour of plain old pasta. And he seems to have whittled his best friends down to one (although I have it on good authority that he still runs with the same crew).
Without further ado, I give you…
20 Questions for Ezra on his 11th Birthday
1. What is your favourite color? Yellow.

8. What is your favourite snack? Even though I don’t have it often, Cinnamon Buns, they’re so nice.
9. What is your favourite animal? I actually genuinely cannot think of a favourite animal. I like dogs. I like lions. And I like guinea pigs.
