Coleson's 8th birthday







Happy Birthday Coleson. Cole or Coley bear as we like to call him, turned 8 on February 26th. The birthday celebration dragged out for several days, I think Ryan McCoy calls it a birthday week. Wednesday evening Coleson's Dad came home a day early so we gave out gifts and sang happy birthday over the candlelight of an angel food cake. Thursday we had Coleson's official birthday by singing again and him answering many phone calls from aunts and uncles, cousins and friends from around the world, literally. Friday, we had the Elders over for a discussion and dinner and again sang happy birthday and ate Coleson's birthday meal, tacos. We love Coleson and wish him a very happy 8th birthday.

This year Coleson received a very cool yellow bike complete with rear shocks and hand brakes, can we get a Awhhhhh!!!! He also recieved several matchbox cars and some collector cards. From his Grandma and Grandpa J $25.00 American, which we explained is close to $107.25 Canadian. From Grandma and Grandpa G a brand spankin' new set of scriptures.

Coleson is very excited to be baptized in April when Grandma and Grandpa J come for a visit.

that's like every kids dream to have a 'birthday week.' i like that idea! shoulda started that at the first of this week for Kyle, oh well. next year. $107 in Canadian dollars? that just seems like so much - i can't believe the inflation. but what a lucky kid. :)

Wish we could have been there for Coleson's birthday. Can't wait to get there and see him in person (as well as everyone else).
