Micah's 7th Birthday--April 23

Not normally a "party family" we resisted Micah's pleas for a birthday party for one more year. We did surprise Micah by planning a camping trip for him, his brother, and friends of the family--Rod and Logan Tweet.  Thank you for all of the camping gear--most of it got tried and tested in the Palo Duro Canyon on April 25.

Micah's choice for a birthday cake this year came from his 1st grade reading book.  It didn't take long for him and his siblings to disassemble the "cake".
Aunt Ellen and Uncle Bob sent a letter that made Micah smile and Mommy cry.  We sure wish Micah were able to spend more time with them, so he could know them as we do.
One of many outdoor/camping supplies that Micah received this birthday--we had to remind him that he didn't need a canteen at school--he can use the drinking fountains.

The highlight for Mommy was hearing Micah read his own birthday cards!
The slam-bang disc flyer from Granny and PawPaw rated a trip to show-and-tell on Monday.
Doesn't really matter what's in the package, a gift from the DeGarmos must be good.
