Christopher's Happenings

Christopher is one busy kid these days. I feel like he's never around much. He's either working with his dad or at some athletic event. He finished up basketball and is now wrestling. After his first meet was postponed twice due to snow, he finally got to wrestle for the very first time on Thursday. I wish I could have been there!! Thankfully, Kara texted me after each of his matches. Oggie and I were thrilled to hear that he won his first match! We were both nervous for him since he has never wrestled before. Then his next two matches were really tough and he wasn't able to win those. Kara said that he wrestled really good and fought hard, but he was up against 2 tough kids. He was sore the next day! One of the kids put him in an illegal head lock and twisted his neck pretty good. All in all, he is really liking wrestling. Next is track, and I'm super excited for that! He's quite the jumper! He was able to touch the basketball rim this year. It's hard to believe that the year is getting away from us so fast. He is really growing up! Christopher has also been playing the quads in band, and is pretty darn good at those. He has also been getting a little bit of quality time in with papa Jerry and guitar playing. Whenever he's home, he is always working on his guitar and he's getting really good at that also. I sure love him!! What an awesome son he is!

Here are a few pictures from back in October. He didn't want a whole big party, so we just did cake, ice cream, and presents with family. He didn't even really want a big cake. He got a Bronco cake. It kind of flopped. I tried using homemade fondant to cover the cake and it just didn't work as well. I couldn't get the colors dark enough this time and the fondant Bronco logos dried out fast and cracked. Oh well, he didn't seem to mind. We did have Matthew over to spend the night. We laughed when they both exchanged birthday presents--great minds think alike, right? The pictures of Christopher and Connor were at Connor's parent night at preschool. We decorated pumpkins and pumpkin cookies. After that, Christopher had his first JH dance.
