Happy Birthday, Mxyl!

 Happy birthday, Mxyl! 

It's hard to believe that Mxyl is 17!





Why, when we started the blog, he was only 10.








And, of course, the Emperor and I remember when he was
much younger than that!

I think that baby would probably fit in Mxyl's shoe now...




But now he's taller than I am, and he's driving cars.

And going to Spain.

 And developing his own fashion sense and stuff. 


It all goes so fast!

Cupcakes...with bow ties!
