Christmas day is doubly special because we get to celebrate this guy.
He turned 12.
Just like that. 12
This year has been full of so many good things,
he is growing up and maturing right before our eyes.
And along the way we pray for him and instruct him
and learn how to be parents right along with him
and when I look at this picture,
my heart swells.
We celebrated all that he is, he prefers to open his gifts right after Christmas gifts.
He says that he is super lucky because he gets double the presents,
still has never once grumbled about his day - always
says he is lucky to share Christmas day.
I love that.
He received a very special drone from his friend Isa.
He plugged it in right away and flew it later in that day.
We got him a bible fit for a teen, he has read in it in his bedroom several times.
He hadn't asked for a new one, but when he opened this one he said that he needed it because
he didn't need the pictures in his current one - ha.
I am pretty specific about birthday paper.
My mama taught me that since Will's birthday falls on Dec 26.
A special gift for my old soul.
He loves it thus far. He has it plugged in right by his bed.
All 12 year old boys should want a massager, right?!?
And golf lessons at French Lick and some new clubs to fit this growing boy.
He will love this once the weather warms up a bit (-6 here today)
He passed me up over Christmas break, literally - look how tall he is here.
Love him.
Singing Happy Birthday to our boy
And this, this is our Sam.
When we went to shop for Joe for a Christmas gift,
Sam asked to buy stuff to make an orange soda float to share with Joe.
His reason?
Joe and I had given up pop since our birthday and Sam asked if Joe could have one as a special treat for Christmas...
Yes, of course. He had one at youth in the fall and knew Joe would like one.
And they shared orange soda floats on Christmas afternoon.
Should probably be a tradition.
Happy Birthday Dear Samuel George Cristian.
You make us proud every single day.
You made us parents and we are thankful
everyday that God chose us.
