Time Doesn't Fly...It ZOOMS!

As I have said before, we are rather overloaded when it comes to fall birthdays around here. Just in our house alone, we celebrate four birthdays during October and November. And that's not counting our extended families! But each one is very important to us, because each one is for a special person. The latest Thomasson birthday belongs to Chip who recently turned two. Chip has brought a great deal of fun to our family, fun that we didn't even know we were missing. Isn't it something how God gives us wonderful gifts that we didn't even ask for? And isn't it something how those gifts turn out to be just right for us?

Chip really enjoyed his birthday. He loves to blow out candles and practices all the time, so he was definitely up to the task of extinguishing the birthday candles, especially considering there were only two of them.

And he's figured out the fun of opening presents.

But we didn't count on this one thing: we gave him the little cars first. That was a bad thing to do because as soon as he saw those, he was completely content and "all done."

Tim thought that was actually a pretty good deal and was ready to sack up the rest of the packages and "recycle" them at Christmas. Luke was getting agitated because he had oh, so carefully, chosen all of Chip's gifts and wanted to see him open them. And Nick and Ty wanted cake.

Eventually we got him to open the rest of them...quickly, so he could get back to his cars.

Happy Birthday, Chip!!
