In July, Spencer turned 12, and received the priesthood. It was a momentous and beautiful occasion. I am so proud of him and the young man he is becoming. I am proud of his faith and his diligence in sticking to the teachings of Jesus Christ and remaining worthy and righteous in the gospel.
Here is a picture of 3 generations of Morgan priesthood holders (who cannot seem to keep their eyes open for photos...)

Like I said...
He is such a wonderful big brother.

My dad has this bear, "The Birthday Bear," which only makes appearances at the Grandkids' birthdays. It sings Happy Birthday (and I think the secret reason my dad got it was so that the bear could sing Happy Birthday instead of him having to). But the kids looove it and my dad has grown to love it too and now it's become this tradition that the little kids always look forward to. (Well...except Evera, who is terrified of "The Birthday Bear"... but we'll talk about that when Evera's birthday rolls around.)
The next time he came over to our house, we gave him his gifts. Melia "wrapped" up a whole bunch of presents for him in this pretty princess bag. :)
Look how proud she is of all the "gifts" she gave him. --A long piece of green tulle, a maraca, a plastic hammer, and a froggy headband (all of which came from the playroom...)
He also got a pair of new church shoes.
And Evera gave him a present too. :)
And his main gift was a nicely wrapped Kleenex box...
With a note which read, "Don't blow it all in one place..."
He got more and more excited as he pulled out the kleenex to reveal $$ MONEY $$
He pulled
And Pulled
And pulled
Happy Birthday Kiddo!
