The J Man is 7!

I can hardly believe Justin is 7 years old! He is our most sober child and it was wonderful to see him so visually happy the entire day. He generally has a ready smile for us, but he was so genuinely happy all day long, it was contagious.

It has become tradition with the kids to open a gift the morning of their birthday by choosing "A", "B", or "C" - which coincides with gift "A", "B", or "C" (they just don't get to see the wrapped choices until after they've chosen the letter)

He was totally psyched to have his own BYU sweater. He of course had to wear it to the church that morning and when he took it off before going into Sacrament Meeting, his white shirt was covered in blue lint :) Thank heavens the library was open and I could grab a makeshift lint brush really quick!

Ty had a bunch of meetings after church, and we didn't open presents until he was home. Justin waited very patiently-even cheerfully. He was excited to start!

The one gift he REALLY wanted. A paper guitar. No really. It plays music and everything. He loves it :)

Another great ice cream cake from Dad. Triple layer this time! Yum!
