Yes, I know this makes us a little nerdy, but our family loves the PBS series, Doctor Who! Becky's family got us started on it several years ago, and now we excitedly stay up to watch each new episode on Saturdays. We cried (well, I did, anyway) when David Tennant left the show but were happy to find that Matt Smith is a likable doctor, too. We have loved each of the Doctor's traveling companions, and we all love the Blink episode best. It's a family addiction.
For Devin's birthday, we decided to get him Doctor Who themed gifts, and boy was he excited! If I had more time this week I would have made him a Tardis cake (that's the flying phone box they travel through time in), but I decided he was probably a little too old for that anyway.
He got a Doctor Who t-shirt, mug, vinyl stickers for his car and laptop, and a sonic screwdriver (the Doctor's cool tool) key chain. He also got the nice blue shirt he's wearing in the picture, but it wasn't quite as exciting since it didn't have a Tardis on it.
Recently, we've discovered that there are quite a few fellow nerds among our acquaintance. Our bishop's family loves the show and several of the kids' friends do, too. Del and I are planning Halloween costumes that go along with the show, so we should be able to spot any other closet nerds at our next Trunk-or-Treat because they'll be the only ones who recognize us!
Happy Birthday, Devin!
