Birthday Boys

Ethan and Calvin had birthdays last week!

Since this is our "off" year for friend parties, Garth and I had the opportunity to take them out on a special date.

We had a super time at a Mongolian BBQ in Bethesda, MD.
Did you know that both boys had the same due date...the 19th?

Although Calvin is 2 years older, Ethan started off the birthday week on Jan. 16th.

He loved:

Ripley's Believe It or Not book
Newest Diary of a Whimpy Kid book
Blanket from Grandparents G. (and a shopping trip)
Cash from Grandparents N.
Cash from Aunt Lisa
Drums (our second set but this time we went digital)

We love him because:

He is sensitive
A Friend to all
Always includes others
Gives the best hugs ever
Is Happy with simplicity

Happy 9th Birthday Ethan.

Calvin celebrated his big day on January 21st. He doesn't like cake so we went with a half gallon of ice-cream. Gotta love that!

He loved:

More PAINTBALLS

Paintball jersey

Paintball pants (didn't know there was such a thing)

A bow for his bass from Grandparents G. (and a shopping trip)

Cash from Grandparents N.

Cash from Aunt Lisa

We love Calvin because:

He is independant

He makes things happen

He is a leader

He is capable

He is smart

He is helpful

Happy 11th Birthday Calvin!
