When Elizabeth and Ethan and Jonah and Asher are 20 and 18, 18 and 16, you will be 8- playing ball at the Park, teasing and laughing with friends, getting baptized. Maybe Ethan or Jonah will baptize you. Or maybe Asher. You'll get to decide.
You turned 5 a week ago. Happy Birthday! You were SO excited to be 5! We made a paper chain and started counting down the days. You told everyone you met how many days you had left until your BIG day! 5! We had eggs on toast, per your request, and opened up birthday cards. You loved getting your own money and right away wanted to buy a hammock and a snorkel (where did that come from).
The Saturday before you had your friend birthday party and people came to celebrate you! We had pink rainbow cupcakes you picked out and water games in the back. It was so fun! Maurice, Tyson, Jayden, Kimball, Emily and Kalea came.
You loved opening each and every one of your presents and especially loved your new scooter! (New to you). You took it straight to the park across the street and rode it around, marveling at it's maneuverability.
We love you, Declan! You are the highlight of our lives and we will always love you! You are smart (learning to read already), bright (you catch on quickly), witty (so funny!) and you are a Valiant Son of God! You love playing at the Park when friends are there, playing the same computer games the big boys are playing and having tickle fights. Preschool is a big part of your life and you especially love show and tell. Your favorite food is Ramen and your favorite color is Violet. You amaze me every single day with your humor and your kindness.
The big kids may keep getting older and older, and so will you, but you will always be OUR little baby!
Love,
Mom and Dad
