Happy birthday Beckett! This awesome kid of mine just turned 7. He's getting so big and smart that it just blows me away. We celebrated a few days early since we'll be in Disneyland over his big day, and figured that would be celebration enough, plus taking presents on a flight is huge pain! This boy requested a blueberry cream pie for his birthday...with a smiley face on it. He was really excited about it, and I kind of was too (funny though, since I think I made this only once before and it was several years ago!). One thing about Beckett that's really great is how gracious he is when it comes to receiving gifts. He loves it all and it just makes the givers feel so awesome (ie, me and Cor). He's been wanting a fish really bad for a little while and so he'd told us he was going to buy one...which would take a very, very long time at the rate he earns money. So, we decided that would be a great gift for him, however, we couldn't buy the fish until after our trip, so I just wrapped up everything that he'd need sans fishies. As he opened up a net, fish food, a tank, a sunken ship, and some rocks, his response was "Wow! I always wanted a (fill in the blank) for the fish I'm going to buy! Too cute. He was even thrilled with rocks. When we told him we'd be buying fish after the trip he was ecstatic, and, oddly enough, really surprised he was getting fish to go with ALL that fish paraphernalia! He also received a microscope, which he was excited to open since he's been pining away after Asher's for a while now...he wants to examine the world now, so all things small should run and hide lest they be smooshed beneath a slide cover. Beckett was even happy to receive new clothes (rare for 7 year old boys for sure). He had a great birthday and it was fun celebrated our awesome boy. Happy Birthday Beckett! We love you buddy!
