Colton's 11th Birthday was extra exciting because this year, he shared his birthday with his cousin Olive's baptism day so it was a busy day but with the bonus of getting to see lots of extra family for his special day! We woke up in the morning at our house and opened presents and took some pictures. Colton got lots of Jurassic World Dominion themed presents that he was pretty excited about. After present opening we all got ready and got in the car for the 3 hour drive up to Rochester, MN. We got there about lunch time and grandma helped us by picking up Colton's choice- Jimmy Johns- for lunch! Cousins came over and we had lunch together and birthday cake and ice cream. Uncle Mark's family even gave Colton another Jurassic World Dominion lego set that he didn't have yet and was completely thrilled about! We spent the afternoon playing and hanging out and that night we went to Olive's baptism and spent time celebrating her and enjoying time with family! The next day was Saturday and we got to spend the day playing and hanging out with family and even going swimming at a fun pool! We had a great time spending the weekend in MN with family and Colton was a great sport about sharing his bday weekend!
The next weekend we had Colton's bday party. I told Colton that we were done doing big parties after his 10th but that he could pick 2-3 friends to go do something fun with! He invited Cason Day, Oliver Merrick, and Chase Hemesath and we went to the arcade at the B&B. The boys blew through their arcade money WAY faster than I planned on but they all had a great time. On the way home we picked up pizza and treats and came back to our house for dinner and donuts! It was a fun time for Colton and his friends!
At 11 Colton continues to be completely enthralled by dinosaurs and all things Jurassic World. He was SO excited for the new movie Jurassic World Dominion to come out this summer and had a countdown going and made decorations for "Dominion Day" and everything. He got to go with he buddies on opening day for his friend Oliver's birthday the month before his own and was SUPER excited about it. He said over and over that it was EPIC! (Jon and I thought it was mediocre but we didn't tell him that :) )
Colton is incredibly smart, especially in math and spacial reasoning skills. He is extremely good with legos and building things. He loves legos, crafts, creating things with cardboard, snap circuits, and more. He is learning and growing each year and learning to deal with the challenges he faces. He is a pretty awesome kid and makes us better parents.
