Birthday Celebration

Last night we had Titus' birthday celebration. For his special meal he wanted a bar-b-que. The weather was a lot nicer to grill out yesterday then when we did it at the end of January for Ruth's birthday. He had his two best friends over to join us for his party. And if you are wondering how Titus likes to celebrate, just read the t-shirt that we got him and that says it all.

The Birthday Celebration

With yesterday being our youngest child's birthday and the entrance into his teen years we wanted to make some special family memories together. We started off the celebration by blindfolding him and reading off four different challenges. He was supposed to pick one of them to accomplish to celebrate his entrance into the teen years and "manhood". (They actually were not that difficult.) He choose the making the snow angel in the snow without any snow gear on. For some reason he didn't pick the wading in the creek challenge. After accomplishing his challenge he go to pick from three different choices. The choices were "Family", "Game Play", or "Pleasure". He picked the "Pleasure" card. On the back it told him he that we were going to the Mandarin. (A wonderful Chinese buffet) and that he could rent a movie. Therefore we got in the van and headed off to the Mandarin. We had a great time there and came home VERY full. We gave Titus a board game he really wanted so when we got home we played several games of that with him. We missed Caleb being with us but was glad Kristina and Zachary were able to join us for the celebration.

Another TEENAGER in the house

Titus is now offically a teenager. So for the next few months we will have three teenagers again until Zachary's birthday in July when he will turn 20. HAPPY 13th Birthday Titus! We are looking forward to having a great day celebrating with you. Enjoy these teen years and remember you have a Mom and Dad who love you VERY much and are here for you.
