When your birthday falls in Holy Week, odds are you are going to spend a good part of it in church. This new 12 year old got up at 6:30 to serve for the presanctified with his "middle name sake", who also shares his birthday! Many years to both!
Follow that with birthday shopping with Dad for a new bike (his knees were hitting his chin on the old one :)
The afternoon was spent turkey hunting, and boy did he bring home a big one! Not sure I want turkey for Pascha though, this one might have to hit the freezer. The birthday dinner will wait for next week, tonight's menu is bean soup!
Well, my goodness. My oldest turned 12 today too. (c; Many years!
