Our oldest son Caleb has finally turned 12! The reason I say finally is because we have been counting down the day for months! 12 is a big deal around here because there are some big changes and events. Caleb had the privilege of receiving the Priesthood, which was amazing! He seemed to be so grown up within minutes. And now he gets to go to mutual which is the youth activity night every Tuesday. And he gets to dive into the more fun and intense Boy Scout stuff. Oh and he doesn't go to sharing time in Primary anymore, instead he goes to Young Men's during church. We're so excited for all the great things to come for Caleb!
We figured it was about time he deserved a nice set of scriptures. He started marking scriptures immediately and has been reading it often. I hope he finds a love for the scriptures!
Since we were going to do his birthday cake on Sunday, instead of on his birthday we had to at least sing to him and let him blow out a candle. These are grasshopper cookies, one of his favorite kinds.
And another favorite treat of Caleb's is Heath bars. So why not make a Heath cake! He was in heaven! It was chocolate inside and oh so delicious!! And it went along nicely with the luncheon we had after church with a whole bunch of family!
Yay! Happy Birthday Caleb!
ReplyDeleteWe were there, that is Helen, David and I. It has been a wonderfull day and I could tell that Caleb felt the same way. He has turned into a fine young man and he has a bright future ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteWe love you Caleb :).

PS: By the way, I won't mention the great food by Mohna and others :)
Can't believe he's 12, Mo! This Sunday Clay went to pass the sacrament with the boys. I was looking at them sitting in their rows and realized Caleb is their same age now! It's crazy to think about. We love him so much and I hope he feels honored to hold the Priesthood. These young men set the tone during sacrament and it's so wonderful he's a part of it! :) Happy Birthday Caleb!
