Happy Early Birthday!

"Birthday Party with the Fam"

The Monday before he left (May 18th), we celebrated his birthday with extended family members. We had a "repeat meal" from the day before since we had plenty of left-overs. Then we enjoyed ice cream sundaes with candy toppings, since Chase isn't a big fan of birthday cake.

His birthday gifts included the normal Missionary items, such as scriptures, CTR ring, ties, a leatherman and money. Chase spent a lot of time shooting baskets in the month before he left. His shot was quite impressive! At the end of the b-day party, he played a very competitive game of "Toronto" (instead of "Horse") with Kyle in the front yard. Then, Jessica gave him one last haircut! He had heard all about the MTC cuts and didn't want anything to do with that!
