Happy Birthday Coleman!

I still can't believe our big man turned 8! He and I went shopping and he picked out a huge Star Wars balloon. I love that he loves his birthday! He just roles with it all, doesn't ever seem to feel bad he has to share it with the world- he knows it's special! He stopped building his Lego set long enough to open birthday presents and blow out candles on his apple fritter doughnut cake. We got him a Lego Star Wars character encyclopedia that he loved and wouldn't put down to open the rest of his gifts. He also got a football, basketball and scout shirt. Gram and Gramp got him a fishing vest and a book about preparing for baptism. Happy 8th Birthday Buddy!

The gifts!

"Happy Birthday to Me!"

The "cake"!

Love him.

Gifts.

Reading his encyclopedia while Drew plays with his ball, personalities shining through!

Cards.

Sporting the new vest and reading the encyclopedia.

He didn't put the book down, but Drew was ready for the next ball.

Calzones for dinner!
