Sometimes I really can’t believe that I have documented so many birthdays and life events on this blog! These boys of mine have had their whole lives on this blog and birthday #17 is no exception!
We were in Ohio for my nephews wedding on Cooper’s birthday weekend. We had planned to leave the night before so he could be home on his day, but he came to us with a proposition we couldn’t say no to!
His girlfriend was competing in a cheer competition in Orlando and going to Disney World with her mom for the weekend. He is a Disney fanatic, has spent 2 of his birthdays already there and really wanted to go. With $50 nonstop flights, an extra bedroom in their house and tickets bought from another cheer mom, we had no reason to not let him go. Well except for the fact that I hated not being with him on his birthday! But that was selfish of me because he had such a great time. His girlfriend’s mom sent me pictures of the 2 of them all weekend and we got to Facetime.
Because I love a good throwback, here is Cooper’s 1st Birthday in Disney World!
As soon as he got home, we did get to celebrate with gifts and cake!
Later that week, we did the special birthday dinner at his new favorite place, North Italia.
This whole, near adult kid thing, is starting to feel really wild to me, but we couldn’t be more proud of the person he is. He has big goals, works insanely hard and has high standards to match his good heart.
Happy 17th, Cooper! Love you so much!
