We celebrated Colombo's 9th birthday at Grand Slam USA. He and 7 of his best buds played basketball, arcade games, air hockey and hit in the batting cages. Where did nine years go? Above he's pictured with his best buds, Jared and Isaac. Below are the 16 kids that multiplied 
from the 7 invited!!!! It made things a little hectic, but we pushed through and had a great afternoon.
Due to inclement weather back in December. The church Christmas concert got pushed back to this weekend. It was incredible. Bethany sang in the adult choir. Juliet, Colombo and Madison sang in the kids praise. Madison and C4 were part of a special 10 kid ensemble. Madison was most excited about having her own mic. All the music was incredible. Many songs I had never heard. It was all worth the hard practicing. And the sanctuary was a gorgeous winter wonderland. C4 is 3rd row, 3 from the left in the purple tie. Maddy is front row, 3rd from the right in a green dress. And Juju is just about center in the 2nd row in an ivory top.
C4 just broke two boards, wrote and essay, and mastered many forms and techniques to get promoted to his green belt. We're very proud.
The kids have been begging me to go skating, but since I can't skate, nor can I juggle Trevor and Nathanael who is just learning, I told C4 to call his Papa. Here they are in West Hartford. It was Nathanael's first time and he did really good, I guess. The next day we took them to my Mom's on Coventry Lake and I was so impressed with how great Madison did.
The kids learn the robot.
Nana's still got it.
