Almost Double Digits

Today was Everett's 9th Birthday! I know I say this everytime, but how do we have a 9 year old!? He sure has changed a lot in the last nine years.....but I haven't. Weird.

Anyway, he woke up to birthday balloons....

we had some birthday homemade cinnamon rolls,

with candles of course!

Some friends came over to play a new wii game that he got for his birthday, Just Dance.
Funniest. Game. EVER.

Opened some presents with the family,

And got measured on the annual birthday growth chart. Well, its going to be the annual birthday growth chart. This was the first year. I measured Ry on her birthday this summer and added her in late, but we have lots of years to go!!

We also talked to lots of family in the States for birthday wishes.
At dinner tonight we went around the table and said what we were thankful for about Everett. Reid said "that he loves to play games with me" and Rylie said "for being Everett, reading to me, and tickling my feet".
We asked E what the most exciting thing was about his 8th year--he said moving to China. We asked what he was most looking forward to in his 9th year and he said Knox being born! Already loving his baby brother :)
We are so thankful for the blessing E is to our family. He is a loving older brother, enthusiastic reader and seeker of knowledge, funny, and a joy to be around. We love you!!
