Happy Birthday (or How Can I Have a Teenager?)

Happy birthday to you my dear A.  You are the one who turned me into a mom and it's been a wild ride so far.  You are turning into a young man with many wonderful qualities and I can't wait (I think) to see what the teenage years hold for you.

I promised him I would not post pictures so just imagine a tall thin boy opening video games and eating a cookie after blowing out the candle in it (his choice)

Happy Birthday A!! We love you!
