My birthday boy and his sisters...

Ayden's birthday is Tuesday. Although he has made no official plans for a party with friends (we're working on it), he's excited about receiving gifts from us. Ayv bought a gift for him tonight with her own money. She was so proud and so was I, so I gave her extra points for being so thoughtful and not selfish enough to spend it on herself. I hope that continues and that Ayden chooses to do the same this fall for his sister.

Since I don't have pictures from that act of kindness, I'll share some I snapped this weekend.
