The day after Christmas we went up to the church with a couple of families to play. We brought Kolton's wubble bubble that he got last year for Christmas to play with it. It ended up getting popped while we were there but the kids had fun with it for a while. It was great to hangout and have fun with some friends after the craziness of the holidays.
My mom flew in on the 28th of December. We were all super excited for her to come! She was going to be able to be here for Kolton's birthday and baptism. She snapped these pictures of Kolton his last night to go to bed as a 7 year old. I just love him so much.
Birthday Boy! 8 years old!! So crazy! He got to have cinnamon rolls for breakfast which he loved, as always! We then got ready and headed to the science museum.
He had a blast running from thing to thing. We were there for hours and he loved every minute of it!
He and Bentley tried out the tornado. I wish that thing had higher winds but it is still pretty cool.
AND...we drew on our faces....Haha. Gotta love it.
I finally found the shadow thing. I love this thing! I always see pictures of people doing it but had never seen it before. I think it is so cool! (L to R: Kolton, me, Bentley, Grandma)
We found this table this time too! And of course had to take a picture with it.
We picked up McDonald's on our way home (Kolton's choice) and ate while he opened presents. We were a little short for time because one of his gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Moffett was tickets to the Thunder game that night! But we had to drop Bentley off at Brady's parents (they offered that day to watch him so we didn't have to take him) before we headed that way so we were going to be cutting it close. Kolton loved his presents. Brady and I got him scriptures (that my mom picked up for us) and he was so surprised and happy. It was sweet! And then when he opened up the Thunder tickets he lit up! It was super cute!
Our seats were great. We had our own little row with lots of leg room and only a few other chairs on our row so not a lot of people going in and out and having to stand up for them etc. It was great! And the Thunder won!! Woop woop! Always good when that happens! Kolton got to get popcorn and drinks and cotton candy. He was in heaven.
We didn't get home until 10:something but we still sung happy birthday to him and ate some birthday brownies for dessert. He doesn't love cake so I let him pick something else and he wanted brownies. They were yummy!
It was such a great day celebrating Kolton! He was spoiled all day and his day was full of fun things! He is one special boy who has such a desire to do what is right. He has something about him that just makes people like him and want to be around him. He is so smart and excels at anything he tries! He is talented athletically, beyond words, and we love watching him develop and play! He loves his family and friends with all his heart and just wants them to be happy. We are continually impressed by just how amazing he really is. We get compliments from teachers and friends and passer-bys all the time on his behavior and demeanor. Means the world to be his parents!
On the 30th my mom and I took the boys and went furniture shopping. We were getting new furniture delivered that week and I needed to find some end tables. We went to a ton of stores and never did really find anything I like and that was in my budget. So frustrating. I was excited to get our new furniture, though! We had already sold our old stuff and were sitting on camping chairs. Haha. That afternoon we went to the dollar theater in Norman and saw the Peanuts movie. It was cute and the boys liked it.
We got our new furniture and it was busted so they are having to replace it another day. We did feel like the corner was empty, though, so we also bought a chaise lounge to put in the corner.
New Year's Eve Dylen and Cheyanna came over and watched the Thunder game with us. Kolton somehow convinced Cheyanna to rub his back and belly. Haha. He can sucker that out of anyone...it is insane! It was a fun evening.
