Dan Thomas' Birthday

 

This is Dan when he was one (and 4 months)
So cute!

This is Dan six days before he turned 17.  Time sure goes by fast!
In this picture he is hugging Kayli's dog Teddy.

When Dan was little he loved being in pictures and always liked to pose dramatically.  Now he avoids most pictures.  He was, and is "twirly".  He likes to spin around and used to do it while holding conversations.  He is much better at being still while talking now.  His teachers loved him and he has been a fountain of knowledge about all sorts of things for a long time.  He is very creative and we so enjoyed his "Police Officer Dan" phase.  It was so fun!  He has lots and lots of story ideas, and I enjoy the animations he has created, and continues to create. 

He is home schooled now, mostly online, but he still goes to seminary and has good friends that attend the local high school and who keep in contact with him and occasionally ask him to do things with them.  One of them even went to the trouble of figuring out what foods Dan is allergic to and making brownies for him!  They had to be made without eggs, milk, and nuts and he really liked them.

Dan is a really good, creative, fun person and we are very thankful that he came to our family.  Happy Birthday Dan!
