On March 4th, Christian turned 11 years old! He is really growing up. He was particularly excited for this birthday because it matches when Harry Potter received his invitation to attend Hogwarts. So of course he wanted to have a Harry Potter themed birthday party.
He invited a few friends over and we sorted them into houses, picked out wands, played a game we made up called Don't Eat the Bogey (like Don't Eat Pete, but with jelly beans instead of M&Ms), had cake (made by Julia to replicate the cake Hagrid brought Harry) and butterbeer, and watched the first Harry Potter movie. I think they all had a blast.
Christian is definitely growing up well. He really excels at school and the piano. He also loves to read and loves archery and Legos. He is quick to be a peacemaker in our home, especially as he plays with his brothers. He is really good at setting meaningful spiritual goals in his life and following through to achieve them. We are sure glad he is in our family. I can't believe that he will be in middle school next year though. They are all growing up so fast.
Here we are at Texas Roadhouse celebrating with him the weekend after his birthday. He was pretty embarrassed when they gave him a "Texas sized yee-haw!"
