Happy birthday, Daddy!

Chris's birthday was on December 8th. This year, we decided that Hamilton was our gift for our birthdays, so that made the actual birthday pretty easy!

Davis got a drone for his birthday. It was obvious that Chris needed one too. So, he got the same drone, which is great fun!

Happy birthday, Davis

It was Davis's birthday on November 20th! He is 7 years old! How did that happen??!!

Because life is crazy, we had his birthday sandwiched in between a trip to Phoenix for Mom and Dad and a trip to Chicago as a family. Both trips were lots of fun, but that's a different post. Anyway, we had a birthday party with family on the evening of his birthday, and a birthday party with friends on Friday.

Things I want to remember about Davis when he turned 7:

• He is the NICEST kid ever. He is a great friend, and a fabulous big brother. He honestly has always been nice.
• He is such a good reader! It is amazing the words this kid can read! And he loves it!
• He loves LEGOs and superheroes. Superhero LEGOs are the very best in the entire world.
• He has a bunk bed in his room, and loves sleeping on the top bunk. It's awesome.
• Clothes and food are usually just something that need to happen in order to exist. They are not a priority at all.

We love 7 year old Davis! He is getting baptized NEXT YEAR! Wow!
