What my mom wants me to know: "Jamesy, you are my little buddy. I am so proud of how well you've adjusted to Kindergarten this year. You are smart, kind and quick. You love to read and learn and are great at keeping up with your brothers. You are a great sport...you win and lose with grace and you play fairly. You adore your older brothers and love Pierce...in every prayer you thank Heavenly Father for our baby. You are too old for your own good. You roll your eyes. You told your older brothers, matter of factly that there is no tooth fairy and  in Kindergarten you were already too cool to wear your costume to school (even though your older brothers totally would have) and it made me a little sad. You are easy going, not at all stubborn and adjust quickly and happily to any situation or change in plans. You are funny, really funny and because of you our home is full of light and laughter. Your smile, cheekbones and dimples are enough to melt us all. We are so happy you are part of our family!

James' buddies at his party: Caden, Joshua, Parker, James, Josef, and Jace


He loved being the star of the day...going to breakfast with dad at Northside grill for the HUGE panckaes, having no chores, waking up to balloons, party, friends and presents

James loves toys and couldn't wait to open his presents. He had some money to spend from grandma and LOVED going to Target and getting to choose whatever he wanted!

These boys are great playmates!

Since Halloween was the night before, James was all sugared out (which is amazing for him). He only ate 1/2 a piece of pizza and no cake or ice cream.)

Is his BFF my Auston?! If so, that's so sweet because Auston still says James is his BFF. :) Haha!
