It's The Most Wonderful Day of the Year....According to Mitch


Mitch has always loved his birthday. Out of all our kids, he has always made his birthday the most fun. The night before his BIG DAY he is as excited (maybe more) as he is on Christmas Eve. Ever since he was two years old each year he'd shout, "This is my best birthday day ever!"
Here are EIGHT things about Mitch:

1. He LOVES life.
2. He never met anyone that wasn't a friend.
3. Very sensitive.
4. He talks fast, eats fast, plays fast, ....everything fast.
5. Best imagination out of all our kids.
6. Makes people laugh.
7. Can't wait to be baptized and join Cub Scouts. (31st of January...you're all invited.Ü)
8. He loves winter.

Layne had to fly to Memphis today, so we did most of the celebrating yesterday. Saturday night I told Mitch he couldn't wake us up until eight o'clock, Sunday morning, to open gifts. At two minutes before 8:00 I opened my eyes and saw Mitch standing over me, watching the clock, waiting for it to say 8:00. Sure enough, the second it turned 8:00 he was waking us up.


Here is Mitch waiting for everyone to convene to the living room.


Opening his Shuffle.

When trying to decide what to get for Christmas he couldn't decide between the Shuffle or this fun motorcycle. So he decided to ask for the iPod next Christmas. I guess there are some perks to having a birthday so soon after Christmas. Your parents can still remember what you wanted and didn't get.


Blowing out candles on a cake that Justin made.

No kidding. Judd's gotten really good at breaking eggs correctly. (BTW-I showed him the measurements on the measuring cup.)

Happy Birthday Mitch!!!!!!!!!
