Grant is 16!!!

 Grant is 16 years old! AIIEE! Crazy that soon he'll be driving around ON HIS OWN!!!!

We had an awesome day celebrating. We started off with presents of course, and he got some expensive shoes he wanted, hoodies, gift cards, and some other fun things. It's always fun to spoil someone on their special day. We had donuts of course, and then headed out to drive some FAST go carts that you have to be a little older to drive. Claire and I just watched and cheered the boys on (Claire was too young to go) and the boys had a blast driving around up to 40 mph! We went out to lunch (Whataburger of course, is there anywhere else when you're 16??? ;) ) We then relaxed at home while he played some video games with friends. We had a seafood extravaganza for dinner with moochi for dessert (his favorite!) with candles and singing.

 It was such a great day. Grant is an incredible kid and such a good big brother. He still loves to be creative, build things with his hands, and be outside. He also loves video games and basketball, airsoft and swimming, and is in ROTC and wrestling this year at school. He is such a kind and compassionate person. He often puts others before himself and he's a good friend to everyone. We're so proud of him and it was great to celebrate another year of him getting older! We love you Grant!
