Witten has grown up so much over the last year! He has such a caring and reserved yet silly personality. It's been so fun to see him as a big brother and how he takes care of Prim, but also does the silliest things with her that make her laugh so hard. One day he said "Mom, you know what? I think I really like Prim!" I can see parts of him come out that are eunique to him being a BIG brother instead of always being the littlest. We're so thankful for the awesome boy God made him to be!

For Witten's birthday I asked him how he'd like to celebrate...either with lots of family and friends at home or just a few specific people while we choose some fun activity or place to go to. He didn't waiver in choosing a small group :) and then he decided it would be the most fun to have a camp out! So we invited two cousins and his neighbor friend over to cook out hotdogs and play in the fort in the backyard. It was a blast! He helped choose all the plates, napkins, goodies for his guests (a lollipop and superhero tattoo), and the cake as well. I'd have to say it was one of the most enjoyable birthday celebrations we've had because we got to really be with him and enjoy him playing and doing things he loves without being bombarded with a crowd or lots of activity. Once dinner, cake eating, and present opening was over, we set up the tent and teepee and got our pjs on. Daddy told all the boys a loooonng story about a boy and his dad on an adventure until they got pretty sleepy. All slept well and made for a super fun memorable celebration for our 3 year old!
