Austin turned 17 on Monday the 15Th of November. We celebrated his day on Sunday afternoon and evening, when we could really spend some good quality time as a family. This year Austin chose lamb chops, steamed broccoli, salad, Turkish rice and the special Turkish yogurt sauce for our lamb. He chose an Oreo Chocolate cake for his birthday cake this year as well. Here he is opening his first gift which was a pair of casual shoes made by Dickie's as well as a nice pair of running shoes.
He also got a school spirit shirt with Logger print decal on it.
Austin has been wanting a watch for a while, we got him a really nice Timex, here he is absolutely delighted that he found it in the bottom of his gift bag. In case some are wondering..he chose to wear the elastic on the bottom of his nose in a minor protest to having to wear the birthday hat in order to open his gifts, it looks very silly if you ask me.
Elise gave Austin this book as well and the sequel, he has really wanted these two books for a long time, something Elise knew that we didn't! He was very delighted with her gifts to him.
Here's Austin thinking long and hard about his wish, he did blow out ALL of his candles, I hope his wish come's true for him.
Our very happy birthday..Young Man. Austin is such a sweet son who is making good choices that are sure to lead him on to a very bright and blessed future. We are deeply blessed to have Austin in our family and are so grateful to our father in heaven for sending him to us. We love you Austin very much and are so pleased with the fine Young Man you are becoming. Thank you for being who you are and for being the amazing honorable young man that you are, you are an exceptional person. Happy 17Th birthday son.
