Connor's Bowling Birthday Party

 With the craziness of December and the holidays, etc. we decided to delay Connor's "friend" birthday party until the new year. This way he got to have his own celebration, not to mention something really fun to look forward to after the holidays were over! And so we had his party today, at his favorite place- the bowling alley of course! Connor is at a different pre-school this year than last. When we unexpectedly returned from Tokyo his old school didn't have a spot for us for the fall (you apply and are admitted by January here). Luckily a spot opened up at another preschool and that's where we are now. We think it worked out as it should have, because we are so so so happy at his new school. At first we were bummed that he'd have to make all new friends (yet again) but really it's just meant two sets of friends! We've kept in touch with his friends from his previous school and continue to get together with them regularly. This all made for a good sized party today-- with friends from both his old and new schools, not to mention his friend Brendan from Tokyo too! It makes us realize how good Connor is at making (and keeping!) new friends everywhere life takes him. We're so proud of him!

This is so typical Connor. The rest of the party has finished their lunch and is back to bowling but Connor is still eating.
Love his smile here. He was so happy!
He got to take home a real bowling pin, signed by all his friends!
Such a fun way to celebrate the most fun boy I know! We could not possibly love him more!!
