My little Ezra turned FIVE today!!! His bike is his favorite thing, but he is close to outgrowing the one he has. So for his bday, we got him a new bike, the next size up! He loved it, of course. He chose to have dirt pudding as his birthday dessert. He helped me make it.
We went to Chuck-E-Cheese for some birthday fun! Landon, Krista, and their kids happened to be passing thru Chattanooga around the time we were going to Chuck-E-Cheese, so they stopped and played with us there. That was a fun surprise for Ezra and Sophia. Ezra told me that he wouldn't ride this little carousel just for his sake, but that he would do it for Amos. He's such a good big brother.
To describe Ezra right now, I would say he is playful, but driven. He loves to work hard and play harder. He is always ready to be on the go. He is busy, busy and into everything. He is ALL boy. He's sooo handsome. He's a goofball. I was trying to take some pics of him today and just couldn't get a serious pose. :)
I can hear his little giggles in my head as I look at these pictures. Oh, that boy just has my heart. I'm so thankful and blessed God gave him to me! I love you, Ezra Kirk!
