Birthday MORP

Special things about Christopher:

He is kind. He cares about other people and their feelings. 

He also has a tender heart and wants to do what's right.

He wants to make everyone feel good and important -- including his own family. He easily gives compliments and keeps complaints to himself.

Sometimes we say he's a "sweet talker" because he knows how to make people feel good and let's them know.  But he's pretty genuine too. It's a talent he has!

He works hard. He doesn't shy away from a hard job or heavy lifting. He's happy to lend a hand when needed. When we think about Chris and his future, Dan and I often say, "He knows how to work hard. He's going to be just fine." 

Not only can he work hard, he's willing to work hard too.

He makes us laugh. He always has. He is funny and fun. He loves being on the go and doing. He loves taking a nap each day, but when not napping, he's busy doing.

He and his friends think of fun things to do. They are silly together and sometimes crazy.

I am so glad he has such a great group of friends. 

They are good kids and good examples for each other. I love when they come over because they're having fun and being creative and are also fun to talk to and polite!

He works hard to accomplish his goals. When he was little he had a goal to be able to do a back flip on the ground. He asked me to sign him up for tumbling classes so he could learn the technique. 

They didn't move quite as fast as he wanted though, and pretty soon he taught himself at home.

He's VERY strong. He's always been skinny but he's always been strong. I call it "scrappy."

From a young age he started doing pull-ups. Then push-ups. Then clapping push-ups and then one-handed push-ups. And at the same time doing more and more pull-ups. 

He's so strong! He wanted a six-pack and he's got it!

He's always loved to rock-climb and is really good at it.

Chris and his cute date, Alyssa. Going as greasers from the '50's for MORP.

Dinner at Chuck-a-Rama (the point is somewhere cheap!), Dance, then Karaoke.

See what I mean? Always doing fun things!
