Liam's Birthday Month

Banana cupcakes made from scratch by Baba (Mom Somerville)!
Kimmy and I eating lunch together.  It was such a beautiful day to eat outside.
Liam and his buddies.  Too bad his eyes were closed.  Look closely.  D had the BRILLIANT idea of buying each boy a Transformer Magnet book to play with while they waited for their lunch.  
The boys, under the tent and eating popcorn, watching The Wild by Disney.
D, E, and  I had to get in on the fun too.  
Singing to L!
Mom and Aunt Ruth eating yummies.
The after party.  This was gift from our friends the Kellers.  Liam was the real Buzz Lightyear.  He even had cool glasses from the Dimoskis to compliment the outfit.
Costume change.  This time Liam is Mickey.  He LOVED his new Mickey Mouse jammies from the Henzies.  And I thought he looked GREAT in them too.
My Buzz Again!


Well today is March 1st, and sadly it is the end of Liam's birthday month.  Although his actual birthday is on the 22nd of February, we have been celebrating since the first week of the month and ended our party last night.  This boy is LOVED.  We started out by going to Disneyland's California Adventure with Grandpa Rick.  Then, we prepared a special breakfast and ate lunch at Stone Fire on his actual birthday along with opening a few presents.  Finally, we had the BIG celebration yesterday!  Liam and five of his "boy" buddies ate lunch at Johnny Rockets and then headed over to Legacy Junior High for a movie, popcorn, and cupcakes.  It was such a treat!!!  Daniel and his students decorated the room at Legacy on Friday and did such an amazing job.  There were streamers everywhere, a Mickey birthday table with stars, cups, plates, and napkins, and there was an awesome tent that D created for the boys to watch the through a projector.  It was SO cute, because they all snuggled together on the couch, eating popcorn, drinking juice, and watching the movie.  Liam was in HOG heaven.  He thanked us over and over again and asked when he was going to be celebrating his next birthday.  It's great to know that your child enjoyed the time and effort you put forth into making his day so special.  

L-  Liam always tells us how much he loves us and how thankful he is for the time we spend with him.
I-  I am SO IN LOVE with my son and praise God each day for the time He has given me with him.
A-  Active, adorable, and appreciative are three words that describe our sweet Liam.
M- My hope is that Liam will grow to be a man of God and share with others the life-changing faith that lives inside him.
