Cormac's 14th birthday came and went yesterday. He spent the morning playing his Axis and Allies game from Christmas (and doing chicken chores). Then he got to go out for Chinese with Grandma and Grandpa Bestgen and got some cash!! We decided to open presents right after that got back from lunch so Grandma and Grandpa could watch. He finished the afternoon with some school work. Cousins Levi and Kenzie came for a sleepover so we celebrated with German chocolate cake and cherry pie. I think he had a great day - as far as birthdays go. This kid has grown up so much this year. He's a great helper and such a wonderful member of our family. I'm proud of how much he has learned in school and how well he takes care of the chickens. I'm excited to see how much he grows and changes in 2019.
Legos he really, really wanted.
more Legos he really really wanted.
This was on his wish list...so incredibly happy!
This is an atlas about the World War II. The kids are always making up strategy games based on that war, so I figured he would like to have some maps of the attacks and battles. Plus, it doesn't hurt to show the reality and ugliness of war to young men. Appreciate what your elders sacrificed for your freedom!
Candy blocks to build with and eat...and a cute photo-bomber.
This is a graphic novel about St. Michael the Archangel coming to save a soldier in the Korean War.
Gianna got photo-bombed. HAHA
Cormac became the proud and excited owner of Darren's old lego castle set.
He also got to pick a hunting knife now that he passed his hunter safety course! I see big bucks in his future!!!
Happy birthday, Cormac!
This is Gianna getting her mouth covered for blowing out Cormac's candles before he could.
This is take two...and he got them all! We even sang Happy Birthday again.
