Another Birthday

 The numbers aren't quite right, but I had a birthday.  Not sure why my family keeps trying to make me younger!

 The boys went shopping with their Mother.  Trevin wanted me to have the crown but didn't want his picture taken.

In addition to some wonderful pictures and the crown, I got growing dinosaur eggs;

noise makers and a scrub brush for dishes.  I was at the store with the boys several weeks ago and told them I thought it was so cute. (it has a face and the bristles are the hair of the girl - blonde like me!)  I am so impressed that Kaiden remembered exactly what I showed them!  He told me it was the one who looked like me and they got the last one!

Seven!

I am a little late in posting Kaiden's birthday from the beginning of February. He turned 7. I don't know how that can be, the time is going by so fast.   He enjoys school, loves to read and loves math.  He surprises us every day with what he knows.  Tito and I just look at each other and wonder at things he says.

His party was at Dave and Busters and he had a great time with his friends and family.  I didn't get any really good pictures, this last one Stacy took.

Bedtime Stories

One of my favorite things to do is read the boys bedtime stories.  Even when they pick the same book over and over.  Some of these I have read not only to them but to their father so often, I have them memorizied.

At first Kaiden didn't want to have anything to do with these because we had read them so often, they were boring.  It didn't take long for him to inch his way over though.

He even finished one of them for me!

Christmas Gift

My oldest grandson presented me with a Christmas gift that was very unusual.  It was a nice package wrapped and tied in a bow.  When I unwrapped it, I found these.  He had told his Mom he needed them wrapped up so I could sew them for him.

 

Which of course, I did.

Christmas 2015

Christmas day brought cold and snow.  It also brought family and friends to our house for presents, good food, laughter and lots of love.

 The boys handed out gifts to everyone and then dug into their bags.

 Kaiden was pretty excited about the movie gift card!

 Laughing with Tito.

 A good time with Dad putting together Star War Legos.  Note the ugly Christmas sweaters gifted by other family members.

Christmas Play

Kaiden took part in the church's Christmas play this year.  A first, he never wants to do things like this, but he volunteered this year.  The story line was a writer trying to come up with a new twist on the same story.  She threw around ideas such as telling the story making the characters more modern, such as super heros and villians, etc.  then she was visited by the characters who told the story from their eyes.  King Herod was protrayed as a mafia boss and the kings his henchman, Mary was shown at different ages, the devil tried to talk Joseph out of accepting Jesus.  It was a nice fresh twist.

We are very proud of him.
