I can hardly believe my son is eight years old today. Time flies.
He is such a joy and it's so fun to see how he loves the Lord at such a young age...
Yesterday we had a very informal party for him. Connor invited four of his friends from school (and one sister of a friend) over to play for a couple hours. Then we had them all help decorate the chocolate cake. It was supposed to end up looking like a coral reef according to Connor's plans (water, seaweed, fish, other sea creatures), but the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders just had fun making squiggly lines all over.
The kids played around outside for a while, even though it was quite cold. This is "D" (Demetrios), Connor, and Rodney hanging out in some trees.
This is Titus using a "bat" Rob has made out of wood to hit a tennis ball for Cinder to chase.
After his friends left and we had some dinner, then it was time to open family presents! Connor was excited to receive a rock tumbler and grit (and some rocks from Samantha that we found at the edge of the Jack River just down the road from our house). He is ready to learn about the process and start his first load with Dad tomorrow.
Connor didn't waste any time getting started on a Pirate Maze book from Grandma White.
