I feel like I have said this before, but I truly think Colin's birthday falls on one of the hardest days of the year!
Colin was born to us nine years ago, Halloween afternoon. As most families with children would agree, Halloween is a jam-packed day as it is--let alone adding birthday festivities into the mix!
But of course, as usual....we managed! Lola got costume #1 of the day on,
and we headed to the boys' school for some lunch and Halloween parties!
Then, that evening, was some trick-or-treating fun with our friends: The Mario Kart Gang!
After that was dinner out. Because this year Halloween fell on a Wednesday night, and Shane, I, and our friends run our Wednesday night children't program at our church, we had to hurry--so we picked Steak N Shake to eat. Then it was off to church, and home for showers and pj's!
The poor kids were exhausted--but Colin was so excited over opening his presents that, even though it was almost 10 p.m., we had to let him do it! His first one was a doozie, for sure!!
Something he'd been asking for for a long time....
....from Grandma 'Nette and Grandpa.....
....a BULLS jersey!!
He beamed as bright as the sun. It was so precious.
He opened several more things: some clothes, some soccer pj pants.....
....and something else he has been wanting....
....his very own real Bible. He has several Bible story books, but has been asking for one he can read himself, on his own and in church. We were happy to oblige!!
We chose the Adventure Bible for him, and he has loved it so far.
(I loved that he wanted to read it right away, and for a moment even forgot about the other presents!)
Some Star Wars legos!
{Being silly and showing me how old they are...Lo didn't quite grasp it LOL}
One last try....got one!
