Happy Birthday to TH!
Thursday my oldest "baby" turned 7 years old! How is that even possible?? We had a little outing last weekend to a local park where we were able to swim with Granny and Poppy and have a little hot dog cookout. The great-grands came too and a good time was had by all. TH got a GIANT ant farm, remote control car and $10 to spend. Oh, and The Waterhorse DVD. That was a big thrill :D Saturday Ms. Chas
left him a surprise gift in our car while we were at a church party. It contained two t-shirts, one of which has a map of the US colored in like an American flag. TH is "a big fan of America" so that was just perfect for him.
Here are some pictures of the big day.
At the pirate park. Isn't he handsome?
Enjoying his "best gift EVER" a backscratcher. The picture is a bit blurry but I just couldn't leave out his expression of glee:
The "best birthday cake ever"
And finally, all the young'uns (and all the gifts, at TH's insistence) on TH's "best birthday ever"
I guess I did all right.
