Happy 9th Birthday Jeffrey!

My baby boy is 9 today... my little "turkey baby" as he calls himself. Today I finally googled the next time his birthday will fall on Thanksgiving and it is in 2 years. Apparently it follows a cycle- 5-6-5-11 or something like that. He just happened to be born on the cusp of the 11 phase so when he turns 11 it will fall on turkey day again. Long wait!!

My little Feffy...

when you were a baby people used to say you were the prettiest little boy they ever saw- and you were! Your eyes and eyelashes! They are gorgeous!

You are such a sweet boy... you have been taking care of your little sister since you were two. You also take care of your big brother when need be. You are one of the kindest, most caring gentlemen I know. We are so lucky that God gave us you.

You are fun to play with and fun to be around. You are always smiling(like your Daddy) and you always look at the bright side of everything(again, like your Daddy). You never complain and you are always eager to help everyone.

You are also a snappy dresser. But you usually love to wear comfy clothes. :)

You love cub scouts, playing: basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf, and hanging out with your friends and family.

Your smile melts my heart. You bring so much love to our family...

You are a talented artist,

you love holidays,

and Harry Potter. :)

Swimming too! And showing off your "6 pack" shirtless... :)

You are a joke-ster and love to laugh.

And you are the only other person I know who loves sweets as much as I do!

Happy 9th Birthday my little buddy. You are growing up into such an amazing little man.

And you still call me Mommy! I love that... and I love YOU!!
