Daddy's Birthday 2013

This is old news I know (we have to time travel back to March) but I think it's so sweet I had to include it in the blog. Christian spent at least an hour on this painting for Daddy. He really put effort into it, and was so proud to present it when it was time for gifts. 

Hogle Zoo

 Love those smiles. 

                                     

Christian was getting a little stir-crazy, so Mom decided it was time to call up cousins Katie and Anna and go on a little field trip to the zoo. Christian had a total blast! 

Mary's Graduation

Christian loved joining Mary at Centerville Elementary in her classroom for her "Doctorate Degree" ceremony where all the kids who've made certain requirements earn a certificate. He was tickled to sit on her lap and meet all her friends. 

Fireman Sam

One of Christians favorite shows is Fireman Sam. In the morning you can usually find him, in full fireman get-up, parked in front of the computer belting out "SAM IS THE HERO NEXT DOOR!" 

Tramp Mural

Christian simply loves chalk. One too-hot day Sarah had the idea to draw on the tramp where it was shady. Kate, Christian and Grace had a blast coloring in Sarah's drawings or creating their own pictures. 

Sleepover

Christian just adores cousins Grace and Eva. Both of them took turns having sleepovers with Christian, and this is just a few pics from Grace's. 

Triumphant Arrival

At long last, the Davidsons finally moved back from Maryland! Everyone was glad to see them again. Christian is already best buds with his cousins Grace and Eva. 

Sky Light

 (My favorite!) 

Christian loves the open-able skylight in the roof of our van. Though we weren't driving, he was having a blast just poking his head out! 

Spring Break 2013 #3

 There is this awesome Mater car in Moab that Christian remembered from last year and he was desperate to revisit it.
