Trainboy turns 8! (December 2012)

My dear second son turned eight in December 2012. He was super excited! We had a small party at home on his birthday with cake and presents and phone calls. Our big celebration was later when we were in Idaho and he was baptized.

I removed his name from the cake in this picture. But isn't he handsome?

On the phone with grandparents, waiting to open presents!

Here is a short set of pictures showing Trainboy grow up from birth to eight:
