Happy, Happy Birthday, Connor Dear!

It's official! My baby boy with the long, white-blonde curls has officially become a teen! And he is taller than I am now! He also happens to be the sweetest, kindest, most obedient boy I know. And, man, can he tell a story...or ten...we are so lucky to have Connor in our family. I tell everyone he is my easiest child. He never talks back, he rarely complains, he's always up for some fun and he tells me constantly that he loves me. I am so blessed to have this kiddo...er..um...TEEN in our lives. We love you, Mac!

His favorite shirt!
For his birthday, Connor tends to like to do the same thing every year to celebrate--a little dinner out at his favorite restaurant, Chuck-A-Rama (he LOVES that dessert bar!), and opening gifts with family. This year he declared he knew EXACTLY what design he wanted on his cake. He drew it on a post-it note and I took it to the talented folks at Kohlers bakery who did a great job perfectly producing his vision. And just what did the images represent? (Yeah, I wasn't so sure.) Connor explained: a trident for Poseidon, a lightning bolt for Zeus, and a skull and fire for Hades. The boy does indeed love mythology!

He insisted on lighting the candles himself!
