Happy Birthday Mister Marcos! You are 6 years old and here are my 6 favorite things about you:
1. your mischieveous laugh when you are harassing Reggie
2. The way you say "uh huh, uh huh!" like Curious George
3. How you wake up before all the other kids and greet us with a smile.
4. your keen dress-up skills, particularly as a clone
5. The way you tease Wilson--and get away with it
6. Our quiet times together while the other kids are at school.
Your birthday party on Friday night was a pizza and pop party with the Larsens. We had popcorn and licorice and watched the movie "Brave." You ordered abelskiviers for breakfast and opened presents because you couldn't wait a single minute more. You spent the day building your new lego set. You were a bit overstimulated and had at least two meltdowns, but otherwise seemed to enjoy your special day.
It was winterfest today so we shopped at the craft show, saw Santa and watched the parade. We had an exhibit today at the museum to show off our new drywall and furnace and served hot cider. What a fun project to be involved in
Tonight was our ward party, which was not as well attended as last year, but lovely. It is a testament to how well things can go when everyone fulfills their assignment. The food was delicious and plentiful and the program was really fun. My favorites were the teacher's quorum kazoo choir, the 4-7 year old puppet theatre of the creation (including the creation of dinosaurs and unicorns) and the Celtic dance troupe of the YM presidency and Bishobric. Even the cub scout bell choir and activity day Rockettes were adorable. I don't mind being in charge when everyone pitches in so easily and is so grateful and uncomplaining. Our ward feels very cohesive right now.
