Christian’s 12th birthday was a great day. I let him pick his favorite meal, which was Chicken Enchilada Soup. For dessert we had blueberry muffins with a candle, of course!
Paige made him a book cover with
some extra fabric she had left.
We bought him some small engine
repair books from 4-H and a tool
box to put lots of tools in. Pete
gave him some of the duplicate
tools that he had. It was a
really wonderful birthday!
