Celebrating The Lucky Dragon!

Our little guy is becoming a little man! He has grown so much this year. Figuratively and physically. He grew nearly 7 inches in just 6 months! We had to get rid of jeans that we bought and he never wore, but now did not fit! His hands are as long as Lady Hiva's and they wear the same size of shoes too! 

 It was fun to celebrate his birthday. It is always landing on our days traveling so we have tried to make it special by celebrating along the way. We did pinatas with cousins in Beaver and another set of cousins in Salt Lake City. 

We teased him that we were going to do a Pasta Themed birthday due to his love of eating dry pasta. He usually has a pocket full of dry pasta wherever we go. you can hear him crunching away as we walk and as we drive. HAHA. 

We went to get decorations (those are the two traditions we have for birthdays--a pinata and decorations to wake up to) and the package for the banner said "Happy Birthday" but when I opened it at 1 in the morning it was so confused why there was an E after the H. Then I realized it was in German. HAHA. 

I carried through on the Pasta these and quickly drew some pastas to put around the house. Then found some fun pasta related DAD jokes that I thought our Lucky Dragon would enjoy! 

This guy is kind and adventurous. He loves people and making friends. He is sensitive and loving. He is a deep thinker and is asking all kinds of questions about the world. He is creative and is constantly coming up with new contraptions to solve problems. 

He is a beautiful piano player and a talented swimmer. He can play any sport he tries (even if he thinks he cannot do it). He is not too old to hold our hands or give us hugs. He is equally serious and funny. He is a great big brother.
