Our sweet Leif is nine! Leif has made our family more fun and interesting for nine years now. He is a good helper, very thoughtful, clever, silly, and fun. Leif loves to read, loves music, loves Legos, loves Minecraft, and loves to help. He is such an important part of our family and we love him!
We started our day as always with chocolate waffles. Then Leif spent the rest of his day playing with his birthday presents- Legos and a little music making thing called an Orba. When Austin saw this thing, he was so excited to get it for Leif. He has loved making different sounds and songs with this thing, especially with the headphones importing the sound directly into his ears (this kid loves noises of all kinds, as long as they're of his own making!) Here he is with playing with it while wearing the German safety glasses that Austin also got for him.
For dinner, we made homemade pizza. I think Leif likes making pizza just as much as he likes eating it. Although I will admit I was rather grumpy about having five little people underfoot while trying to get it ready.
I was worn out after all the Thanksgiving cooking plus waffles and pizza so Leif let me off the hook and agreed to just have these silly little chocolate souffle cups that Austin got from Costco. I had to make a batch of brownies that were Trevor-friendly as well, but at least I didn't have to make an elaborate cake. Leif got to pick the movie for movie night and we had a nice little evening together as a family. Looking forward to another year with this amazing kid!
