A Dozen Candles
Today I took Wesley to Thomas' school to kidnap Thomas for lunch for his birthday. Thomas acted like a cool cat when he saw us, but was clearly happy. I told his teacher we were taking him out for bday lunch, and she said, "Thomas, I didn't know to day was your birthday." Thomas said, "Yeah, until now it's been like any other day." I'm SO glad I put housework down for an hour to spend time with Thomas on his special day. He chose to go to KFC, and then we went over to Michael's where he picked out a model Camaro for his birthday. Like father like son.
Birthday dinner was LOBSTER and chicken for the lobster haters. Thomas' cake was a basketball with Oreo "Fun Stix" holding the candles, and crushed Oreos around the side of the cake. It was all yummy!
Somehow the kids (Thomas included) guessed all of Thomas' gifts before he opened them! It was impressive. Wesley gave Thomas some Lucky Charms cereal. Thomas was thrilled to finally get a Swiss Army knife. Because Thomas turned 12, this birthday brings his priesthood ordination next Sunday and then his first temple trip (with Wayne & I) the weekend after he's ordained. Lots to look forward to...more pics to come! We LOVE our Thomas!

Thomas, I can't believe that you are TWELVE! Happy Birthday!! I remember subbing nursery when you were in there. You had so much energy that I had no idea how to help you listen to our lesson. Little did I know that I'd soon have a little boy of my own who was also super energetic. Now you are such an impressive, bright 12-year-old! I hope our Conor grows up to be like you!!!

What a wonderful surprise to pick up Thomas at school! And he's a deacon now. Very, very neat!
Macy and I were talking yesterday in Calgary about just how amazing you are -- so glad to know you!
Much love.
