November 29 - Taylor is 17!!!

Taylor had a pretty nice birthday if the saying goes "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach!" He got an "unusual" breakfast of eggs, ham and hash-browns plus some acai-blueberry juice. For lunch Uncle Brandon and Dover took him and Sr D. to Saltgrass Steakhouse! Yum! For dinner he asked for chicken enchiladas.

After dinner we went Christmas tree shopping, came home, put it up, strung it with lights and hung the ornaments. We ate some chocolate eclares, and then he opened presents. As you can see he got a football. He also got another workout outfit and a gift card from Grandma and Grandpa Scott. Elder Janis sent him Austin Collie's rookie year football card.

Here is Emily taking a video of the opening of presents next to our new Christmas tree. It's a little blurry, but gives the general glow and fuzziness in the room.

17 wonderful years with this boy! I love you Taylor!
