HAPPY 12TH CHRISTIAN!!

We absolutely can't believe you are 12! Soon to be a teenager! We love so many things about you it's impossible to list but your keen awareness of all things going on around you, your innate sense of how things work and how to put things together, your precise attention to detail, and your thoughtfulness are among the top. We love you and are so very proud of you. + We met up with Puops and Rong at Haidilao hot pot on Saturday and had a great time. They got him a Swiss Army knife that he loves. + We got him a LEGO grand piano. He said "it's the second year in a row I've gotten a big LEGO!" + We kept it low key with birthday celebration but the Kincaid kids did come over and spend around 6 hours with us which was fun. We played some minute-to-win-it games. + Olin was so excited to order and wrap the Legend trilogy of books for Christian. He used his own money and I opened the (closed) office door to find the gift nicely wrapped on the floor. + My thumbnail updates: the new nail is growing underneath from the trauma two months ago.
