On September 25, 2011, we celebrated our youngest son's 8th birthday. This year his special day fell on a Sunday so it was quite a busy day with Sunday services in the morning, but we managed to fit in a proper celebration with just our family.
One of our birthday traditions is allowing the birthday boy/girl to choose the dinner meal and Timothy chose Chicken and Spinach Alfredo pizza this year.
Everyone was sure pleased with his choice!
Timothy's cake request was a race track in the shape of an 8 with Mater and Lightning McQueen from Cars.
He was very happy with how it turned out!
I always enjoy taking the other kids out to the nearby stores in the village to purchase a special gift for their sibling's birthday. It is sweet to see how they want to buy just the right gift and get almost as excited themselves to give the gift as the recipient is to receive it!

Rebekah always spends much time making personal cards to give to her brothers on their birthdays.

This year we were grateful for James and Amber Pranger, who came to Krasnoyarsk on a survey trip, bringing a special gift for Timothy (and Ryan too but he has to wait until his birthday to receive his gift) all the way from America.
Timothy received a Nerf sword and shield set which made his day, as you can see!

God bless you Timothy. We are so excited to watch you grow and see how the Lord will use you in the future. We thank the Lord for you and the gift you are to our family.
