Wow this kid loves anything! Today is Jeff's birthday and Sara had his gifts laying out on the table so when he got up there they were. You would have thought we had given him the whole world when he saw the gifts. We got him several books about cars, two posters, a door hanger that holds his Hot Wheels, Nike shoes and Nike sox's (he really loves Nike), some walkie talkies and a little MP3 player (have not figured out why he wanted that).
The Walkie Talkie's and MP3 player are sitting on the table but the cars books are the big hit. for the last hour and a half he has been sitting on the couch looking at this car's books.
He has told us thank you about a dozen times. What is sad is that this is probably the most stuff he has ever gotten for a birthday. In fact, Anne and he visited their mom yesterday and when they came home I expected to see him with some type of toy or toys. He walked in with a card and a little stuffed animal. The card came from his mom but the little stuffed toy came form the center where they visit. So all he got was a card. It really broke my heart because I wondered if he had ever gotten anything else from them other than a card.
Anyway, I know he had a great birthday and several adults from church have been amazing about wanting to get him stuff for his birthday. One of our elders and his wife got him a Gift Pack of Hot Wheels (10 cars). He was bouncing around the building with the wraped present in his hand and then we finally told him he could open it and his face lit up like a beacon. I think he thanked them over and over and even that night at church he yelled back to them how much he loved his present and thanked them again. You just got to love this boy.
