Dear Zander,
Welcome to the world of double digits! I cannot believe you made me a mommy a whole DECADE ago! You are at such a fun age as I enjoy our bedtime cuddles and conversations. I love how quickly you grasp concepts at school and your incredible memory of scripture verses, math concept, science content and social studies information. You love doing anything outside- biking, basketball, soccer, running, baseball, hiking, etc. You are super quick and can move from one side of a soccer field to the other without me being able to track those quick movements. You have such a kind heart and are blessed with many wonderful friends. Those friends made cards and surprised you in my office when we got to school on Friday! You have assumed leadership roles at our school this year, being elected as our school's vice president and leading your class and our school in many initiatives. You wanted the school to collect items for the Ronald McDonald House and we made it happen! You got to sing with NewSong this year (Christmas Shoes) and enjoyed many trips (Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Ocean Isle Beach, Stone Mountain, Sevierville, etc.) You continue to love snuggles and I love how you will come into my room when you have finished reading for the night to see if we can cuddle for a few more minutes! This year you decided to have a birthday party at Rockin' Jump. You invited some of your closest friends for an "After Dark" themed party, complete with glow in the dark shirts, gripper socks and glow sticks. You picked a Pokémon cake as you still love getting and trading Pokémon cards. Some of your other favorite things are legos, nerf guns, and any Nintendo switch game! You asked for a stapler and staples for your birthday and we made that happen as well! ;) Here are some pictures from your birthday celebration. While some of your best buds had other obligations that night (baseball games, chorus concerts, broken arms, etc.), I think we were able to start the next decade off in style! Thank you for making me a mommy. I will always be grateful to God that He trusted me with such a precious gift!
I love you always,
Mommy
Last night in the single digits....
Breakfast in bed, Chick-fil-a lunch brought by daddy, donuts with your class at lunch and a picture with your birthday twin! You even won a new beach blanket at Career Day at our school on your birthday!
Rockin' Jump Birthday Party with Pokémon themed cake
We went on a field trip on your birthday week.... we toured the state capital, including the Legislative Building, Court of Appeals, Natural Science Museum and History Museum.... we even got a picture with Representative Zenger while on the House of Representatives floor.
On your birthday week, you also lost another tooth, the first one in the second round of teeth to come out!
