Chris is 16!

Happy 16th Birthday to a wonderful son that we love very much! Chris, you're a terrific kid and we're so glad you're in our family!

Chris can be quiet and hard to read, so here are some things I can tell you about him:

Chris has a quirky sense of humor that sometimes gets him into trouble and sometimes gets him out of trouble, mostly depending on my mood at the moment. There have been many times that his humor has diffused a sticky situation and gotten us all laughing. I won't mention the times his attempts to be funny fail and cause the sticky situations in the first place! :)

Chris has a kind heart and is a good brother. He loves to tease his sisters, but when they need help, he can be serious and sensitive (which never fails to surprise and please his mother).

Chris loves to read, play games and ride his bike. He just finished Driver's Training, and he's really excited to get his license. It takes six months of driving with a parent, so I have lots of fun times ahead for me!
Chris can also date, now and he's looking forward to it, although he's also nervous about it.
Chris celebrated his birthday in Boise with two of his friends who have moved away, Isaac and Jacob Miller, Devin, John and John's cousin. They went to see Avatar at their favorite theater which has lots of great snacks, and then to McDonalds for more junk food! There is never enough unhealthy junk food to fill a teenage boy's life! Normally, we try for some balance, but it was a birthday!
Chris has been a really great kid for 16 years! That's definitely something to celebrate!

Memory of Chris' sense of humor:

We were on a campout together. Chris gets a stick out of the fire and touches Devin with it. Devin says, "owch!" Chris laughs, "Heh, heh, heh."

I think Chris was 5 or 6 then.

i love it! it is sad, but true-- it ALL depends our mood!
Happy Birthday to our little bunny, Chris (just trying to think of some term of endearment to embarrass him!)
