Thomas is 9!

Here's the birthday boy with his cookies-and-cream cake.




Blowing out the candle while holding off his two younger siblings. (We ended up relighting the candle a few times so everyone could have a turn.)




Catey/Katie (we're debating the spelling of her name) thought the candle looked like a cookie.




Grandma and Grandpa gave him the old Lazer Tag set that Dad and the uncles used to play with back in the day. Those of you who know John and Nancy will not be surprised to learn that it was in mint condition.





A new Nintendo DS (half of which was his present, half of which he earned himself), Red Robin for dinner, cake, ice cream, and Lazer Tag in the dark until waaaay after bedtime. Life is good when you're nine.

9?!? WOW! I loved the defending pose of the candle. He is very good a multi-tasking! As far as the young daughter's name, how about Kcatiey. There, once I again I come to the rescue!

Oh my goodness! That's original Lazer Tag! That is beyond cool.

Don remembers the laser tag fondly...
