Happy Birthday Declan!

Declan age ten birthday morning at Denny 's before school.

We have a birthday tradition of getting up early and going to breakfast with dad to Denny's. Then Eddy drops them off to school with a classroom treat to share. We kinda have birthday week around here it takes a bit to get through all the birthday traditions. The birthday person gets to pick the dinner and also a movie night with their favourite treats and whichever movie they want.  They also pick what dessert they want it doesn't have to be cake. Declan has chosen hamburgers and French fries and chocolate chip cookies with ice cream. We will open presents gradually throughout the afternoon and evening so he can open and play with them a bit before the next one. You also don't have to do any chores on your birthday and you can have as much screen time as you want. You also get to pick a local outing like a park, or river, or going up to Mount Graham. He is such a fun, excitable guy and has been looking forward to his birthday for weeks.  Declan is such generous, caring boy who tries really to make those around him happy. He wants to be a doctor when he grows up and he certainly has the handwriting for it. Since he was three he has been saying he is going on a mission to China but now he thinks he would rather go to Japan.  He is very dependable and an early bird! We are so glad he is part of our family! 
Happy tenth birthday!
