Happy 9th Birthday Marcus

 Marcus turned 9 years old! The caboose of the family is still our pride and joy. He is still so utterly full of joy, generosity, enthusiasm, adventure, action and an overall zest for life. I've been telling him lately how much I love his zest for life. His response was, "True, I am very zesty" :) He has been counting down the days for a long time, and was very much looking forward to some action around here. I can't wait for the day I can give him an enormous birthday party with all his friends!

His was the first of the repeat pandemic family birthdays, so this means we still are on hiatus from parties and normal celebrations. Instead, we rented a private movie theater! Yes, that is a thing. We watched Croods: A New Age (super funny movie), and ran circles around the empty auditorium, threw popcorn everywhere (just kidding, we didn't do that, but just knowing we could have was very exciting) and hooted at the top of our lungs whenever anything interesting happened during the movie! It was so fun :) We made his favorite food (bacon cheeseburgers and homemade pizza), played games with him all day, and told him our favorite things about him around the table during "birthday affirmation" time. Everyone knows he is the most generous, and loves to pass out surprises. So part of his pile of gifts, were bags of treats he can pass out whenever he wants. Baby Santa was pretty happy with that!

Marcus is still a fan of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for his birthday cereal, and Donut Mountains for his birthday "cake". He loves Legos, remote control everything, books and soccer! Happy birthday, buddy!
