Connor's 16th Birthday

On Monday, we celebrated Connor's 16th birthday with him.  Connor is talented at about anything he tries, though he doesn't think so.  He has a great sense of humor, is a good helper, and is a good friend for his brothers and sisters.  He is a good example of someone who works to do what is right, and finds joy in making good choices.  He isn't perfect.  Sometimes he even gets grumpy!  But, he is perfect for our family. We love Connor!

Connor and his birthday loot.  The shirt says something like,
"I didn't get my acceptance letter to Hogwarts so I'm leaving the Shire to become a Jedi"

You've got to love the smile!

This is Connor and a sleepy Dan on birthday morning.

In this picture Connor is being sung to.  The phone is being held up because Trisa
was on the phone singing happy birthday too.  I think Kayli even put the phone to Connor's ear
once so that he could hear her.

Connor took two blows to blow out his 7 candles (1 on one side and 6 on the other -- for 16)
Does that mean his wish won't come true for two years?  Or just one extra year?

Happy Birthday Connor!
