Christopher's Special Day(s)

Christopher turned 8 years young in September, on the 26th! I know it's already November, but there has been a lot going on in our home... Gymnastics, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Baptism, Business Trips, Visitors from AZ, Marathons, Soccer for Ben, Soccer for Chris, Soccer for Emma, Basketball for Zach, Church, Young Men, Band, Trombone for Ben, Euphonium for Zach, Try-outs for this & that, Schoolwork, Campouts, Homework... and I am just starting to name a few! (I know others feel the pain of BUSYNESS!)

But I needed to post a little bit about Christopher! He wanted to celebrate this year with a soccer ball cake. It came out nice! It was really tasty!

Turning 8 years old is a very important step in our home... white shirt and tie!

The first Saturday of October is the day when our ward (church congregation) usually holds Baptisms for those children who have just turned 8. Since the first Saturday of October is also General Conference for our church (worldwide church meeting with the Prophet), the Baptisms were held on the 2nd Saturday of October. Two friends of Chris were also baptized, Peyton and Harrison. Grandma and Grandpa Thomas came down for the festivities. All went well and Christopher was baptized by his Father. Congratulations Christopher!
