Happy Birthday Dear Michael

For Michael's birthday this year we didn't have a birthday party cuz dad was gone so we just sang lots and lots and then to make it really great, he got his Arrow of Light. What a great kid.

He got to follow that by going on his first scout campout that weekend. Dad got home from his TDY late Friday so he went up as soon as he got home but wasn't able to be therefor a bunch of the activities but report came in that Michael was AWESOME! He set up his own tent and then went on the hike and led all the way up and all the way back. He helped everyone out and had a great attitude. One dad even came back and said that Michael was just what he hoped to raise his boys to be like.

So then Saturday they got home from the scout camp at about 4:00 and we had a big birthday bash ready and waiting. (You knew we wouldn't really just skip it) We fixed him his favorite dinner, gave him loads of presents (one of which was a tree house building guide) and then spent the evening planning a tree house to build the following weekend. It was all kinds of good for a kid whose all kinds of great. Sure do love that boy!
