Happy Birthday Dominic!

A day late in posting(because we were busy having fun) but yesterday was our Sweet and Handsome boy's 10th birthday! Amazing how 10 years fly by! This conversation tells you what a special boy he is:

Mom: Hey sweetie, your birthday is coming up, what would you like for your birthday?

Dominic: Ummm.... I don't know, I have pretty much everything I want.

We love you so much buddy!! XOXOXOXOXOXOX
