Davis Turns 9

We had a few fun days celebrating Davis’s 9th birthday this year.  We had aunts, uncles, and cousins over the Sunday before his birthday for dinner and cake and ice cream.  Then on Wednesday, the day of his actual birthday, we had a lot going on with basketball practice and cub scouts, but we tried to make it a special day.  We had our traditional crepes for breakfast, and then I took Davis to lunch at McDonalds during his school lunch time.  Shane came home from work early with pizza (Davis’s favorite) so we could eat together and open Davis’s gifts before he went to basketball and then cub scouts. Thursday, when we had a little more time, we had over a couple family friends for cake and ice cream.

Blowing out candles on Sunday for his family party, eating crepes for breakfast, and opening his gift from Grandma.

We sure love our Davis and can’t imagine life without him.  He is kind, caring, funny, and has the best laugh.  He loves to be silly and to tease, but he also knows how to be quiet and listen when he needs to.  He loves to play outside with his friends, and he always has to have a big afternoon snack to feed his growing body.  He works hard in school and puts in his best effort.  He reads his scriptures each night before bed, and he is growing and learning so much more every day.  Here are a few questions we asked him:
