it was a few weeks ago but i'm not doing such a good job of posting birthdays right away for some reason. oh well, better late than never (still need to do andrew's from october!)
we took six of christopher's friends to
mary coyle's after school on his birthday...
if you've never been there, you must. it has been around ever since i can remember and they have the best ice cream...
we ordered the 'mountain' - 7 lbs. of ice cream...
they pretty much devoured it, and had so much fun doing so.
john has handshakes he does with all christopher's friends...
then it was back to our house for some serious 4 on 4 basketball...
and since john john wanted to play so badly he got to put on the half time show...
i was so impressed with how the big 5th graders interacted with john. he is so social and wanted to constantly talk and hang out with them and they were all so good with him. just about each of them took time out on their own to play with john, it was so sweet.
matthew is the youngest of seven. he went into our neighbor's yard for awhile with john to play football and soccer...
he did this totally on his own and i just watched with a smile on my face as this took place...
john is trying to tackle him in this one...
and ben who is one of five sat here at the bar for about 1/2 an hour with john creating this marshmallow fort with him...
i asked ella to make a little flag for christopher's birthday treats and got out the toothpicks for her which then led to her getting out the marshmallows which then led to the making of these sweet buildings...it always amazes me what she comes up with on her own with things we have around the house.
then all our family came over for dinner for the big family birthday celebration. i wish i had a pic of our full house. it was a great birthday for my first born...
