We Braved the Weather to treat Christopher to Lunch!

Christopher's Birthday Lunch!

Our Waiter was a little bored so he made Mersades a flower out of a napkin!

Our waiter giving us special attention!  He was showing the birthday boy how to make a chicken out of a towel!  He was very entertaining!

So today marks the second round of Snowmeggedon in Snowklahoma!  We received another 6 inches or so on top of the 18 inches we received last week!  We have now set new snow fall records for Tulsa!  Today just so happens to be 2-9-11, which is Christopher's 13th birthday and it reminds me of one of my favorite verses in the Bible, Jeremiah 29:11!

How are we spending the day today, after being snowed in for 9 days, you ask?  Well we ventured out today to take Christopher out to lunch for his birthday.  I have made an Ice Cream Cookie Cake that we will eat after we eat his favorite meal for dinner tonight.  We stopped at Best Buy so he could pick out his Birthday present.  Now we are spending the rest of the day hanging out, playing games, etc as a family.  As far as the other 8 days, well we have watched tons of family movies, played lots of games, had quiet reading time, did a little math, some writing, we have made snow ice cream (gonna do a second round today), shoveled driveways and sidewalks, went night sledding (I am sure we will do that again), had sleepovers (well one), cleaned house, played video games, played in the snow, and I am sure there are things I left out, but you get the idea.  We are starting to miss our scheduled lives though, such as school, church, work (me), basketball, etc.  We will be looking forward to the 60 degree weather the weather man is promising us in the next week!  Although, our snow probably won't be completely melted until the Spring or Summer :)  We have been enjoying our time together. 

So I now have TWO teenagers in the house, I am sure I will be needing prayer from all of you :)  Christopher is pretty excited to finally be a "real" teenager, but he is second guessing himself when I had a discussion with him about "becoming a man"!  Not what you guys are thinking, not "that" kind of talk, but the kind where I tell him he is more responsible now, that sort of stuff :)  He has always been the impatient child.  I went into labor 4 days before my scheduled C-Section and ever since he has been that way.  When he was a baby, he wanted to eat before it was time, he wanted to sleep before it was time, he woke up before he should have, he has never liked to wait.  He gets that from his dad!  I blame him for that! :)  However, I am so blessed that God chose me to be him mom.  I love him more than words could ever say.  I always said, God gave me Christopher to teach me to have patience :)  and that he has done! :)
