Thankenstein Thursday! 13 Edition

I would like to dedicate this post to my fabulous nephew, Alec, who turns 13 today!!

Happy Birthday, Alec!

This is Alec as a wee one with his best friend Bocco the Bear....Alec was a preemie....We are very happy that he made it through all of his challenges and is such an active, healthy guy 13 years later!



We knew as he grew, he was definitely a rock star!

He is fearless!
Someday, you will see him in the major leagues....No Joke! He is a super talented baseball player! He hits a homerun or two (or three, four...) every game and can pitch like a pro!

We miss you, Alec! We wish we could be with you on your very special day!

Happy 13!!!!

With All of Our Love,

Aunt Minnie, Connor, Cat and Uncle Smitty

Since we are celebrating today at the Bee and Rose, I would like to say a very BIG Thank You to the very sweet jbechtold over at Stay at home Mom! She shared this wonderful award with me! I am supposed to share it with 15 new blogs, but I am spreading the award love to all of you today! Hooray! Go check out her blog! There are some great ideas over there!



Things are definitely looking up around here! Have a delightful day, ya'll!

xoxo

Dawn
