Easton is TEN!

Easton has been so excited for his birthday to come.  
He is ten!  A decade!  Two hands.  No more single digits!  
While he won't be celebrating in person with his friends this year, I worked to make multiple puzzles for him and his friends to solve together during an online virtual birthday party.  
It will run like an escape room.  Solve this puzzle to move on to the next clue in order to finish and collect the loot.  
A few weeks ago I dropped off kits to his friends houses along with freezer cake, so they could clean and quarantine how they saw fit.  It took a lot of planning.  His cake at home is in the shape of a lock, with puzzles, question marks, puzzle pieces, and a magnifying glass over his name that looks like this:  EAS with the 10 beside the EAS but inside the magnifying glass.  We both thought it was clever.  EAS10.  Nathan and Krishna are both doing distance learning and are in Easton's online class so they are familiar with logging into a meeting.  Lucas is learning at the physical school but it should be okay as he plays online games with the boys.
After they solve the puzzles, open the loot, and eat cake, we will open presents.  Which have also been quarantined on my end.  Then the boys will likely play online games together.
This year there will be no doctors report.  However, at home our scale says Easton is up to 70 pounds up from 66 pounds last year.  He is now 142.5 cm up from 138 cm last year.
