Happy 16th Birthday!
Christopher is SIXTEEN! My Baby turned sixteen on October 30. And what does every sixteen year old want for his birthday? That's right a car, and that is what he got a 1973 El Camino (a Hot Wheels all grown up). Christopher has loved El Caminos for years (still trying to figure that out). His car has been hiding at a friends house so we told Chris that I had to drop off something before we went out for his Birthday dinner. Well when we drove up he saw a few of the family members then he saw a big bow (orange and blue) on top of a car that had a car cover on it. We got out and all he did was stand and stare. After awhile we told him to check out the car. So he went to the car and stood and stared some more. The boy was in shock, he would stare and shake his head. We then told him to take the car cover off. He did but still was not talking we kept asking him thing he would reply but then just stared. He did walk around the car but mostly stared at one side. After a little while longer Ken asked if he would like the keys. He then check out the inside. He then sat in the car still in shock. I have this on video and one day I am going to set down and time how long he went without speaking. I can honestly say I have never seen him so shocked, and quiet. We then went inside for cake and ice-cream and open more presents. After his mini Birthday Party he drove his car to the restaurant. I have never seen him drive so slow. I think it took him a few days to realize he got a car for his birthday.
