Oldest boy turns 12
12/6/2019
My oldest boy turned 12 this week!
He requested his favorite foods for his birthday, so we enjoyed: pancakes for breakfast, cheesy noodles for lunch, better with butter chicken and fake potatoes, and of course birthday cake for dessert!
Because we had a crazy schedule on his birthday, we carried it over to the next day as well. He had his favorite hashbrowns for his second birthday breakfast!
Grandma K in Wisconsin mailed him his gift and then we skyped with her so she could watch him open it. He loves to create with Legos so this was a great gift for him.
He received a spy kit from Grandma R. He was really excited about this gift. He also received some fun slime from Aunt Karen and from his older sister.
Here he is getting ready to open a gift.
It's a big one. What could it be?
He received a drone and a spy pen.
He was excited to receive some Jonathan Park CDs (these are audio dramas, similar to audiobooks). He's enjoyed some of this series, but not quite all of them yet.
This year for each of the kids' birthdays, we went to Build-a-Bear for them to create a birthday bear. His bear is an Air Force bear wearing dress blues and named Monty.
A few highlights from this boy's life this year:
He took his first airplane ride;
He went hunting with Grandpa K (for turkey and deer);
He listened to over 400 hours of audiobooks;
He's started attending BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) with Mom (and the younger siblings) so we're studying the book of Acts together
12 years old! Not a child but not an adult.
Happy birthday, son!
