Zac's 9th Birthday

While cleaning Claire's room today I found the yellow "Queen of the Tournament" banner she received at Medieval Times while celebrating Zac's 9th birthday in November. It occurred to me that I never blogged about this event. I feel it is important for me to retell just one moment, if not for me, but for Claire and Zac to read when they grow up. Because when Claire received the special banner from the Yellow Knight, Zac was over-the-top excited for her. It was a surprise since we were there celebrating his birthday, and she got some serious spotlight at that moment. It was a surprise because then Claire handed the banner to Zac for him to wave since it was his birthday. It was a surprise because Zac handed it back to Claire because he didn't want the Yellow Knight to be upset if he didn't see her waving it, and it was awarded to her after all. All of this was done with smiles and thank you's. A sibling moment I won't forget.

By the end of the night, the kids all lost their voices from cheering. Though the Yellow Knight was defeated in the end, he fought valiantly.



The whole family and Zac's BFF, Drew.

During the time I spend with just the two of them, I'm very often warmed by how they act out their love for each other. Then, of course, there are other moments when I feel like a referee separating two boxers.... (:>)

The stories about that evening from all of the kids conveyed how much fun they had. You all were so smart to get there early in order to get such good seats on the front row. Great memories for everyone!

First of all, why was her room a mess? Aren't your kids perfect and tidy like mine? I loved reading this. Sounds just like my 2 kids.
