Eddy's birthday landed on a Sunday this years so I let him pick the color of the day for the kids to wear and he let them pick what they wanted. They were pretty excited about that. We had a currently serving missionary and a recently returned missionary speak to us in sacrament meeting. It is so interesting to note the differences in growth and polish between a new missionary and one who has completed his mission. I can hardly believe how few years I have left with Quinton before he becomes a missionary. Quinton has the makings of an excellent missionary. He taught the lesson to his peers today in Sunday and he really seemed to enjoy it.
For Eddy's birthday dinner, we had Shrimp Fajitas, Red Rice, Santa Fe Corn, and Refried Beans with Guacamole and Chips. For his birthday cake he wanted a chocolate cake with Dark Chocolate Fudge Icing and a cold glass of milk. Nice and easy since I took the simple way and made it from the box. We are in the thick of our birthday season as we have four birthdays within six or so weeks. I let them pick whatever dessert they want for their birthday and it doesn't have to be cake but it usually is cake. Declan is already talking about his choices for his birthday and he still has three weeks to wait. It will probably be here before I know it as most things are. As a special birthday present to Eddy we all were ready and to church early; it really bothers him when he is late.
