Happy Birthday, Jalen!

Today was the actual birthday. He asked if today for his birthday he could have a tray lunch instead of having me make lunch (stinker). I met him for lunch so he could pass out cupcakes to his classmates. He thought that was great.

He loved being the focus of attention today.

This kid is always in motion.

He chose funnel cakes and whipped cream for dinner and then we had some more of his birthday cake from the party along with cookie dough ice cream. 

He got to be in charge at bedtime so he decided that only the kids would pray, not mom or dad. (I think he thinks we take too long...) All in all, he had a great birthday.

As for me, Jalen's birthday is always tender for me because his adoption was the most spiritual experience of my life. I love him so much and am so grateful I get to be his mother.
