Thursday was Christian's 9th birthday. It has been wonderful to spend these past nine years with him. He is such a blessing to our family. It is so amazing to look back and see how much he has grown over the years. I love his brave, chivalrous, and courageous personality, along with his quick wit and sense of humor. He keeps us laughing! Christian you are such a blessing from God, and we thank Him for you.
Wasn't he SO cute!
Little Christian trying to do his own clean-up job.
Christian was pretty proud of his belly flops.
One night we were staying in a cabin in Iowa and Christian heard owls hooting in the woods. Here's how his face looked when he asked, "Do owls have hands? Do owls have swords? Can they open doors? What do they eat?"
Jeremiah and Christian's "major" bike accident (no one was harmed in the photographing of this incident). They do all of their own stunts.
Christian's birthday cake last year.
This year's cake - a healthy cake made with black beans and avocado. Hannah will be posting the recipe on her blog shortly.
Christian had the marvellous idea of buying coffee ice cream to go with the cake.
Christian still makes this face. *just kidding*
