Happy 8th Birthday, Darren!



Wow - we have an eight-year old!!! Isn't he so handsome?! We have had lots of fun celebrating Darren's birthday this year. His birthday was on Thursday. We started the morning out with monkey bread for breakfast. Then, Sammi and I joined him for lunch. A little while later we brought treats for his class - instead of cupcakes, he wanted donuts, and the kids loved that! We ended his birthday with presents, cake and ice cream. On Friday, we went to Chuck E. Cheese and had pizza.

Here are some special things about Darren:

1. He is so smart! He is such a quick learner!
2. He loves to play jokes.
3. He constantly surprises us with his ability to learn things quickly - for example, is a good pianist - he has only been taking lessons since September.
4. He is an entrepreneur - he has written and illustrated several books with plans to sell them to the neighbors!
5. Darren LOVES video and computer games!
6. He always does his chores promptly, and anything else I ask him to do, with the promise of some game time afterward!
7. He never sleeps in, and doesn't need a lot of sleep.
8. He has read almost all of the Harry Potter books. His current favorite books are: Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Captain Underpants.

We love you, Darren! We are so proud of you!!!
