X Turns 12!

Happy Birthday to this cute kid! Hard to believe he's 12!!!
Birthday wishes from the siblings.
Xander's birthday fell on the first day of General Conference so we spent some time lounging around and enjoying the talks. We did find time to open presents, of course!
Some of his favorites included these Magic cards, a game he found out about at scout camp...
video games, of course...
a new character book along with a journal for all his notes...
and of course, Legos!!
Turning 12 means Xander is now a deacon and was able to attend his first General Priesthood Session with David. The original plan was to attend in Utah but due to events happening at David's work the two of them stayed home. Dinner and an ice cream social at the ward before the session were still a good start to this new Father/Son tradition.
Sunday night we had his birthday dinner - potstickers and a liter of Dr. Pepper all to himself (no, he didn't drink the whole bottle in one sitting although I'm sure he was tempted).
A tasty strawberry pie for dessert.
I hope all your wishes come true!
