and then he was 8.....

this is the morning of november 13th, opening a few presents. bella got him a pokeman box he really wanted and i love the joy you see in his expression as he opens it and the happiness in his sister's face when he thanks her. each year he gains confidence as he grows and continues to be his funny, smart, kind, thoughtful and sensitive self (mixed with the right amount of trouble). we are lucky he chose us to be his family. xo
