Easton is Nine!
Easton's birthday was lovely! This year he had a plants vs. zombies theme on his cake which is a video game that he plays with his friend Nathan. He invited three friends over, Nathan, Lucas and Krishna to battle an epic Nerf battle in the back yard. Weeks prior we collected boxes from the grocery store, enough for two teams to build epic forts in the back yard. Then the Nerf capture the flag game ensued. The boys had a great time. This was followed by cake, presents and some video game play.
Thanksgiving also gives us a great opportunity to celebrate Easton's birthday with family. So we headed to Listowel but stopped in Cambridge as Julie was pregnant and being close to home near her due date was just a good idea. We started with a Thanksgiving/Birthday dinner at Swiss Chalet. We met up with Julie, Wole, Brian's mom, and Brian's aunt Cecilia. It was Cecilia's 65th birthday and we were glad to also celebrate with her!
Then we headed to Listowel where we celebrated Jayden, Jensyn, Beckett and Easton's birthday at my dad's house with the lovely turkey dinner.
This year's doctors report: Easton is up to 66 pounds from 58.6 last year. He maintained the 50th percentile for weight. He is growing like crazy and is up to 138 cm from 129.7 last year. This is about 85th percentile.
I can't wait to see what adventures this year brings.
