Caleb Is 8 Years Old!

On October 26th Caleb turned 8! It is hard to believe it has been 8 years. He is growing into such an intelligent, focused young man. At the beginning of the summer he won the first Harry Potter book at an event at school. I had told him he would probably need to put it away for a while because it might be too hard for him to read. Determined, he started reading the book this summer and by September he was 3/4 through the book. He had been asking Dan and I for a while to watch the movie, so I decided that if he could finish reading the book by his birthday, I would let him invite a couple of friends over for his birthday to watch the movie. On the Saturday before his birthday he had 3 friends over and all the boys (including Oliver) ate Jack O' Lantern pizza and the Worms N' Dirt you see above to celebrate as they watched the movie. It was so interesting to see these little boys hang out and interact. As Caleb received some new Bakugan brawlers for his birthday, they even got to try them out.

The next day we had grandpa and grandma, Aunt Marsha, and the Voss family (Caleb's cousin's) over for birthday cake to celebrate. Caleb was thrilled with the Broncos hoodie and stocking hat he received from his grandparents as well as the next Harry Potter book from us to start reading. As of today he is already on chapter 6!
