Happy 11th Birthday Mitchell!

Holy cow!  I can’t believe that my Mitchy is 11.  When Jeff and I met he was 6.  What an incredible blessing he has been in my life.  I miss him when he is not here and get excited when he is.  Jordan will often times be heard saying “I wish Mitch was here.” 

For Mitchy’s birthday we had a “friend” party and he and Jordan shared a family party.  In usual Mitchell style we ran with his obsession for Star Wars.  We made light sabers, did a pinata, ate pizza and the kids played and watched Star Wars.  Mitchell has made several friends since we moved to this neighborhood.  So, for his party he had old friends, new friends and family.

Mitchell is one of Andrew’s favorite people in the world so it was only fitting that he come to the party.  It did not bother him in the least that he was 5 years younger than even Mitchy’s youngest friends.

What a fun party.  Thanks to Mitch (the other one), Hunter, Hayden, Sadie, Hadley, Rylee, Andrew, Taylor and Brytan for celebrating with us!

We had one big family party to celebrate Mitchell and Jordan’s birthday.  We were blessed to have Great-Grandma Pickett, Aunt DianaMarie and Bob and Jackie and their kids join us.  Also all of my brothers and sister and nieces and nephews.  What a fun time!

This year my Mom has tied and gave each grandchild their own quilt.  The kids with birthdays later in the year have been anxiously anticipating the arrival of their quilts.

Happy Birthday Mitchy.  Thank you for being such a fun and loving kid.  Thank you for allowing me to pester you to make your bed, do your reading and take a bath.  Thank you for growing up into such an incredible young man.  You have blessed and enriched my life in so many way!  I love you!!!
