My mom's brother Dan was killed in Vietnam in 1966. My grandparents gave my brother Uncle Dan's Lionel train. A few years ago, we had Christmas with my brother and he had his train out around his Christmas tree and my Jacob fell in LOVE! Finally, this year, my 7 year old boy got his train, "Just like Uncle Dude's!"
Small celebration this year. He asked for cake and bowling. That's what we gave him and wouldn't you know, my little boy, he beat us all at bowling with a 114!
Happiest of Birthdays to you my 7 year old boy!
A Lionel Train! Nothing beats a Lionel Train. Collin's parent's have one for their Christmas tree and the boys LOVE that thing. They love setting it up each year with Papa and Uncle Ben. Ahhh, so great the Lionel Train.
ReplyDeleteHappy 7th Birthday, Jacob!
(PS, can you tell me the date so I can write it down?)
