let's boogie

abe turned 
FOURTEEN!!
 we had birthday party/table before school since he had 
basketball practice and a soccer game after school.  
we decided to go with a "lets boogie" theme because turning fourteen means...
you can go to stake dances!! 

i'm not sure how ecstatic he is to go to dances, but he did laugh at the dancing dude on his cake and thought the disco ball he received was a pretty awesome gift.
(my parents booked a trip to california with abe and his cousin this weekend.  they gave him some spending money for the trip.  he really was soooo excited to go to california!)

we met up at the end of the day for birthday dinner.  abe chose to go to SIZZLER!  what?!  his choice was a little unexpected, but then i realized he was trying to find a place where he could get king crab legs-- his kind of birthday treat!

i really am grateful to have abe in our family.  it's fun to watch him get all teenager-ish.  i had a neighbor tell me the other day that he is going to do something important.  she said she just feels it when she is around him.  he has a way of being himself and confident about it.  she told her son to "just do what abe does and you will be fine."  i thought that was a pretty big compliment.

happy birthday to abe-y baby big boy!
