Happy Birthday Mr. R!

We celebrated Mr. R's birthday this week-end.  I can't believe he is 12 already.  He is growing into quite the young man and is such a blessing to be around.  He took me out on a date for his birthday.  He chose The Cheesecake Factory.  It was so nice to get to spend some time with this sweet young man, and I loved seeing how he cared for me and his baby sister while we were out.

He had been saving up for a Lego mindstorms set.  We offered to pay for half of the set.  G'ma and Grandad found a great (used) set locally and pitched in the remainder of his part so that he could get his set.  He is one happy boy working on this every chance he has.

He requested minion cupcakes for his birthday.  Miss E did a GREAT job putting these together.

The boys were all dressed in their yellow shirts for church, they put on their "minion goggles" and were all set for the day.

Miss E added to the fun by putting on a purple shirt and getting her hair all crazy.

I love seeing my kids get all excited about their sibling's birthdays and helping them celebrate.  Miss E and Mr. M decorated for Mr. R and all of the kids had a great day together.
