Charlie's 9th Birthday

Happy 9th Birthday Charlie! We had two parties this year. One at Jumpstreet with 21 of his closeest little friends and another on his actual birthday at home with family. Charlie says his favorite gifts were a remote control lightsaber-nightlight and a lego dragon (of course). Charlie received a room "reboot" from Mom and converted the airplane theme into a star wars room! Cousin Ryan helped celebrate and passed on his love of skateboarding by giving Charlie his first ever skateboard and pads. Unfortunately the next day brought a blizzard... so skateboard practice will have to wait.

Daniel-ism for the Day

On the car ride on the way home from school:

Daniel: "I made this for mom.  She has been a good mom, so I made this for her."

No response from Dad.

Daniel: "Dad did you hear me?  Your wife has been good, so I made this for her."

Started Decorating for Christmas 2016 Early

Do you think he can stay there for 339 days?

Ghost of Christmas Future

We just got back some work the kids did at school before Christmas break.  One of Charlie's activities was to tell about a Christmas in the past, Christmas presently and a Christmas in the future.  I assume this task was a part of a unit on A Christmas Carol.  For his sentence on a Christmas Future he wrote:

"When I am 35 years old, I will spend Christmas with my cousins."

I sure hope so, buddy . . .
