Happy Birthday!!


Ten years ago today at 1:22 AM our little boy was brought to us in this stocking. Wow, he was quite a bit smaller and all wrapped up in it. How time flies!!! He has become our little man of the house now. The poor little thing has had to share his birthday with so many Christmas events but he handles it with grace and a smile! The last couple of years, he has been blessed with his/our favorite team playing a bowl game on his birthday and that has been a highlight for him. Tonight is of no exception. Everyone is invited over to watch his beloved Broncos play their last game of the season and Ian Johnson (Jonathan's favorite player) play his last college game. Little did the Boys in Blue know they were giving a little man the best gift ever for his 10th birthday. Too bad we weren't in San Diego to help cheer them on but we will be watching and cheering just the same!
Before his actual party, we thought he should take a test to see if he was ready to handle double digits or not... Here is the "Birthday Test" we gave to him. (Thanks Teila for asking him these questions!!!) What a silly little man! ENJOY! We sure do!
