Twelve. We have a twelve year old in our house now. How did that happen? Brandon has grown and matured, and has gotten kind of cute ( though he'd hate for us to say that in front of him!) In our church, young men at the age of twelve receive the Aaronic Priesthood. They are then able to help with various priesthood responsibilities, most notibly they pass the Sacrament to members of the congregation on Sunday. The birthday festivities started on his birthday the 28th- we were just finishing his Birthday Dinner when Zach slipped while jumping on chairs and split his chin open. We rushed off to urgent care and Brandon waited patiently for 2 1/2 hours to return and open presents. We gave him the option of opening them without us, but he wanted to wait.
His friends came over the following evening and played a myriad of water games (what else do you do in the middle of the summer) movie and pizza.
Sunday he was ordained a deacon by Brian. Grandma and Grandpa Benson were able to be here for the weekend, we enjoyed having them with us for this special time.
Zach no worse for the wear- just a bit of blood. It did take two of us to hold him down to get the stitches in- slightly tramatic for him.
A birthday party with fun boys and lots of water games.
Chocolate chocolate cake for the chocolate lover.
