Happy 7th Birthday Daniel!!

It's Thanksgiving, but it is also Daniel's 7th Birthday!   

The boy was really excited to start the day with candles in his huge cinnamon roll for breakfast.

He had a great day, spending time with lots of family today.  All week, he had been telling people that his birthday was Thanksgiving.  Taking great pride in this not so frequent occurrence.  

Daniel's Grandmommy made a wonderful cake for Daniel's birthday party last weekend and outdid herself again by making a second cake for today.  It was a devil's food chocolate cake with fudge icing.  Wow!

He picked out a ribbon saying, "Birthday Boy"at the store last week and put it on first thing this morning.  He wore it all day so everyone would remember it was his birthday.

I know many people wouldn't like having their birthday on a holiday, but Daniel really seemed to love it. He felt very special.

    He opened presents from his grandparents even before the turkey was out of the oven this afternoon.  Then again he opened more after cake, this time from Aunt Flora and Nana & Papa.

What a special boy.  Check back at pictures of him through the years here.
