Eric turned 13 in January...officially
but he's been acting like he turned 13 quite some time ago! We have enjoyed seeing the many ways he has matured emotionally, physically and spiritually and academically over the past year.
Since this was a special year/number, Dennis took Eric and a friend snowboarding for a day as his present.
Eric commented that this was the best present he could ever ask for
We still had a small family celebration on his actual day...with special dinner (lasagna and red velvet cake for dessert)
Uncle Andy was here to celebrate too!
And to celebrate and remember how big our #1 boy is really getting, a few pictures from his past...
One of Eric's earliest and fondest memories from his childhood was when he was 3 and after an extended period of rain, I let him go out and play in the giant mud puddle that was our back yard.
When he turned 4 we had a really fun pirate party-games of walking the plank, treasure hunt-I had a lot of fun planning elaborate parties back then!
He started out on skis...here he is at age 7. He switched to snowboard I think when he was 10.

Skip a few years to 2011- Eric the 12 year old. What a difference just a year has made-he grew 4 inches over the past year!

Time just flies by so quickly! I love that we are so close to see all the years of Eric's life!
Where did the time go? What a handsome young man! Happy Birthday Eric!
Ethan just turned 13 this past November, and he is such a big fella. No more littles at my house - and I miss that!
The best to you and yours, Heather!
