Basil has grown physically (by leaps and bounds--he will most definitely pass me in height within two years!),
mentally (he has always been a critical thinker but I feel that this attribute has become more acute this year which means more discussions & more in depth explanations, I mean waaaaaay more--so great!),
and spiritually (he's understanding the Faith more and applying the Faith to his daily life in beautiful ways).
It is such a blessing to be able to see him grow, catch glimpses of the man he will someday be (by God's grace), and loving and thoroughly enjoying the boy/young man he is today. Jim & I thank God for Basil. He brings so much to our lives, teaches us to be better people in God's eyes...he is a great blessing to us.
We love you so much Bubba!!!
Happy Birthday!!!
Birthday Morning
Rootbeer float for his special birthday wake-up.
The books are gifts that the girls bought (with their own money) for Basil.
And of course, a birthday wouldn't be the same around here without going to out to breakfast on your special day!
The Party (a couple of days earlier)
My friend, Jenny, made this cake, per Basil's request.
LAKERS
The only NBA team, according to this family (and Basil).
We served Nachos - the good kind, ya' know, with the disgustingly yummy nachos cheese - with homemade chili, jalepenos, onions...yikes! Deeeelisshh!
Basil and his closest friends: George, Brian, {Basil}, Jimmy, & Elias
Eli is into giving a 'whatever' look. OMGsh! So dang cute!
Basil & Jenny (she's the one who made the cake!)
MAMA LOVE!
Jeemanee.
