The very best Christmas present I ever received came 5 days after Christmas in the form of a squishy, gooey, hairless baby boy! He was born a little after 12:00 noon on Friday, December 30, 1994, 7 pounds 7 ounces and 21 inches long. He has brought joy (emotion of good fortune and a source of delight) and happiness (pleasurable and satisfying experience) to our family now for 18 years -- it's his birthday today!
Fast forward to 2012 -- that little boy has become a pretty amazing young man. He sings in the shower, reads his scriptures every night, says "please, thank you, may I be excused, and I love my Mom," all the time.
He giggles at crazy television shows that sometimes move him off the couch and on the floor with out-of-control laughter. He dresses up in weird costumes; wears manatee and Sasquatch socks in basketball games, and more.
There is not a day that goes by without a goodnight hug. Happy Birthday, Willie!
