A Bowling Bash

Christian's 10th Birthday!

 Christian had a party at the bowling alley with friends Collin and Dillon (and brothers).

 Jag's gift brought laughs from all the boys.  Shaped erasers.  Shaped like a toilet, toilet paper, plunger, and pile 'o poo. 

It is hard to believe that my little Christian is 10.  He is a wonderful kid.
Here are a few thoughts about my guy:
*  He is so expressive with his smile and eyes.  He always has been.  He just draws people in with his cute face.
*  He is the hardest, yet easiest, kid to buy for.  He likes nothing in particular, yet everything is great.  Hard to find just the perfect gift, because he never knows of anything that he wants.  Never.  Unless it is something that a brother has just gotten or thought of.  Davis won't tell him of any of his "wants" for fear that they will be "stolen" by Christian.  This also makes Christian easy to buy for because he is thrilled with everything he gets due to the fact that he didn't have any ideas to start with.  Who am I kidding, he is hard to buy for.
* Christian has a ton of nicknames.  Chin, Chinny, and Chin muggins are the most commonly used.  Davis is always coming up with a new one.
*  He is the ULTIMATE helper.  Always aware of the needs around him and willing to step in without being asked.  I couldn't have made it through Darin's deployments without his help.
*  He loves his family.  Loves, loves, loves them.  He is always writing sweet notes and leaving them around.
*  He is tough and never quits.  I've always referred to him as my Everyready Bunny...keeps on going.
*  He sings everything.  Sings way too often and is always making up songs.  He doesn't just answer a question, but is more likely to sing the answer.  Living with him is sometimes like living in a Musical!  That stinking afterschool choir (on a side note, he WON'T do the actions for the songs in choir so not quite a musical).
*  Christian is a great kid.  He isn't moody or disrespectful.  He is polite and hard working.  He is awesome at laundry, dishes, and bathroom cleaning!

Happy Birthday Chinny!
