Elliott, Asher, and Christian's Birthdays

Elliott, Asher, and Christian all had birthdays since the last time that a posted. Elliott turned 8 on January 8th. This year he chose for the whole family to go roller skating instead of having a friend party. It was also a big year with his baptism. We were so proud of him. At his baptism I got to sit in the front row with him as they had a couple speakers and some musical numbers. He became teary-eyed in it and shared that it was feeling really special to him. I was glad I got to be a part of that.

Asher's birthday was next on February 20th. He turned 3 this year. He was so happy knowing that this was a special day just for him. He has been really into dinosaurs lately. Coincidentally, he received two dinosaur shirts as presents. Lately he has been asking which is stronger, dinosaurs and monsters. And then giving an explanation for why one would win in a fight over another.






Christian's birthday was on March 4th. He turned 10 this year. I forgot to take pictures at his party. But he had a fun time. At his friend party we did an adventure story that was kind of like a choose your own adventure. It meant that 90% of the party they were just sitting on the couches listening and figuring out problems. We were a little worried with how it would turn out, but all the kids really liked it. Not sure if that is just because of Christian's personality and the type of kids that he invited, but it was fun to try something different. The party was the day before everything shut down around here for COVID-19, so we were glad that kids still came.

Here he is playing the piano at a school talent show the weekend before.
