Happy Birthday Chandler!

by Melissa Evans

Chandler is such a sweet kid! He has been a good big brother to Jared and Meg. We were so happy to celebrate his birthday these past couple days. Saturday we went to the circus. Aunt Debbie came with us and Chandler was excited about that too. When the circus was over our funny little Chandler who had been reading the slogan "The greatest show on earth," leaned over and said to me, "Mom, that WAS the greatest show on earth!"
After the circus we went to Panda Express, Chandler's choice.
Later on in the evening we went to U-swirl (frozen yogurt).
The boys had never been there and they thought it was pretty cool.
Then on monday we had his cowboy party. There are quite a few kids in the ward all going to kindergarten in the fall. So, we decided to have all of his kindergarten friends over!
We panned for gold, had stick horse races, roped the fake steer, tried to drop snakes into a boot, and made our own trail mixes. My parents got him the little red cowboy shirt for his birthday so he'd have something to wear. We thought he looked so cute in it and decided he would make a really good looking cowboy! The kids ate their cake and ice cream out of old pie tins and drank rootbeer from mason jars, which they all thought was pretty funny!

Since I was crazy enough just trying to get ready for the party, my mom made Chandler his boot birthday cake.
Chandler is a fun kid to do things for because he loves everything and is grateful for whatever you do for him. He often says thank you multiple times for anything we do. We are so glad he could have a fun birthday.
We love him so much!
