Collin's 12th Birthday
Collin had some friends over to celebrate his 12th birthday. (I can't believe he is so "old." It's scary.) I made pizza and they ate a bunch of other junk too, and, of course, cake and ice cream. They also played basketball and tag, watched a movie outside in the backyard, and played frisbee with a pizza that I accidentally forgot about on the grill. It was black, and they thought it was hilarious. That's 12-year-old boys for you. This was a few days before his birthday.

But the following Sunday was the best of all.... Jay ordained Collin a deacon in the Aaronic Priesthood. Both his grandfathers also participated. He is named after both of these great men. Collin is such a good boy and we are very proud of him.

Alice, what movie did they watch? I'm trying to find a good one for Elliot's birthday party.
ReplyDeleteThey watched an EDITED version of "Monte Python and the Holy Grail." We watched the new "Sorcerer's Apprentice" the other night and Collin loved it. Check out my other blog for some other ideas.

Nice! Happy birthday! I find such get togethers totally amazing. I have booked one of the Venues in NYC for my birthday party this year and have invited all my friends and cousins from far away places. I am going to turn 30 and was hoping to meet everybody again after all these years.
