HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YA LITTLE GEEK!!!

We are celebrating the new year and remembering our favorite warrior all at the same time. Masie made you the coolest M&M cake...we sang to you...Maggie blew out the candles...then all of our friends went outside where it is very COLD and sent you green balloons. Maggie sent you the big one with SpongeBob on it. Your leaving has left a hole in our heart that can only be filled with the wonderful, funny memories of you. Please give Nana a kiss at midnight and blow us one too.

We Love YOU,
Aunt Bonnie
