Birthday Week... OUR BOY IS 6!

Birthday week has been over now for a week! I am still catching my breath. I feel like I forgot someone (to invite) or something (for each party)... but it is all done. It was a sweet week... to celebrate each one of these precious children the LORD has given us! THANK YOU FATHER for these gifts that you have entrusted us with.

Because this is how I scrapbook, I wanted to share about each birthday party!

Aidan's party was a huge hit! I am so thankful for Ted's creativity! He put together a treasure hunt for the party. We put out "little treasure" all along the way. The kids had a great time. It was a super hero, treasure hunt party... with a Transformer cake (thanks GRANNY!) and Starwars napkins and plates. Aidan dressed as Iron Man... Talk about MIXED THEMES... THE MORE THE MERRIER! All his favorites in ONE PARTY!








Aidan here are six things we JUST LOVE about you!
1. Your joy... you always have a smile on your face and it's CONTAGIOUS!
2. YOUR LOVE FOR LIFE! You truly find joy in everything!
3. Your love for your family. You are such an encouragement to us... even at the young age of six.. you seem to tell me (mom) "You're beautiful" at the sweetest times. OR you are professing your love for us when we don't ask ... it blesses us so much!
4. Your desire to be a HERO... You are a great brother to your sisters! Your relationship with each one of them is life giving. You also are a encouragement to Abel. How blessed they all are to call you brother.
5. Your persistence in life... whether it's how hard you are playing a game, how much you get into a video game OR how many times you ask for apple juice until you have it in your hand... you are persistent and we dig that about you! (even though at times it is challenging :-)
6. Anyone who meets you says what a gentle spirit you have. You are ALL BOY and yet, you have such a loving way about you.
We have loved reflecting on your precious life! We look forward to this next year and what it holds! LET'S HAVE A BLAST TOGETHER! WE ADORE YOU!
Love,
Mom and Dad
