He had a Birthday

Mr. Harris had a birthday!

He awoke to 28 post its on the bathroom mirror, each one expressing a trait I love about him.
Was greeted by a picture banner of his life's memories.
Opened birthday presents.
Got a birthday massage.
Enjoyed a family fun game of bowling.
Was treated to lunch.
Took a relaxing nap.
Had many dear friends show up "surprising" him for birthday dessert!

Easter 2011

Woken up at 6:30 from an excited boy asking if the Easter Bunny had come.
Hurried down the stairs to see an assortment of goodies in his new blue & white Easter pail.  

A smile and excitement on his face made this momma smile.

One new movie, a blanket, a picture of Christ, his very own Book of Mormon just his size, and a handful of Easter candy.

Then off to church in our new Easter outfits.
