Armin is 7!!!

Happy, happy Birthday to the sweetest and funniest little boy ever!!  Our baby is 7 years old!!  He came on his own terms and has been ever since!  Armin brings such fun to our lives, he is such a ham, he is always trying to make us laugh.  I am so thankful for him in our lives, I honestly couldn't imagine life without him in it!!  He was a big surprise, a great surprise mind you, and he continues to surprise us everyday!

We were able to take Armin out to celebrate his birthday with just us on Friday.  We ate a simple meal in the mall food court, he had his favorite, a hot dog and a strawberry banana Orange Julius!  Then we took him to see the movie Coco, to which he said was very good!  After the movie the mall was still open for Black Friday shopping so we looked around a bit and he picked out some Pokemon cards!  He fell asleep on the way home, he was so exhausted from all the fun he had celebrating!!

Sunday we had his family birthday dinner, which also always happens to fall on Grey Cup Sunday!  In the background of the festivities we had the game on!!  He couldn't wait to open his presents.  He got a gigantic toy combine from Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Mark, which he claims was the best present ever!!!  He got a rescue helicopter from Grandma Puzey, Lego from us, and the always coveted $100 from Grandpa Glen!!  Lily drew him an awesome picture of a ninja turtle and gave him two of the bad guys from the ninja turtle show!  He was so happy with all his gifts and went around and gave everyone a big hug!!  He has such a sweet heart, so thoughtful!!  I didn't do anything fancy for his cake, third child syndrome, but he didn't seem to mind!  We had ham, his favorite, scalloped potatoes and peas!  It was a very nice party, I was so thankful for everyone who came to help him celebrate!!
