HAPPY BIRTHDAY Elijah!!!

Eli was awake at 5:30 when we woke up to go feed the lambs.  He said, "I see all the balloons!"   We woke the boys around 6:30.  Eli was excited to see his birthday presents on the couch.  He checked out his creeper cake and then was ready to open his presents.  He opened his big boxes first.  When I said I thought he was supposed to open little ones first he said, "Nope, I open big ones first!".  He grabbed the first big box and shook it a little and said, "Legos!"  Before opening he said, "Daddy, you ready?  Are you video taping?"  It was a lego ninjago set and he said, "Awe, I love this!  I asked for this!"  Next he opened a nerf modulus and some extra nerf missiles and mega darts.  He also got socks, paint and small poster boards, bubbles, glow necklaces,  glow silly puddy, gum and sour spray candy, and his own jar of pickles.  On the jar of pickles Daddy wrote, Eli's pickles, Hands off.  Eli opened the bubbles and said, "I'm getting a lot of neat stuff!"  Jacob helped Eli get his nerf gun out of the package and they played with it for a few minutes before it was time to eat breakfast.  After getting ready Eli and I headed to school for Muffin with Mom's!  Jared got home around noon and we headed to school to pick up the birthday boy.  We spent the next few hours playing with nerf guns and helping Eli get his lego set built.  At around 5:00 we headed to McDonalds for dinner.  The boys had a great time playing together there.  At home we sang to the birthday boys and had cake and ice cream.  Then Eli played with his new lego set.  The boys all had fun with nerf guns.  Eli and Daddy played Tanki on the computer and we watched I Love Lucy.  Eli got to stay up a little later today and we played with his new legos.  Then I got to hold the birthday boy.  He would pretend he was sleeping but couldn't stop smiling.  Such a fun day celebrating with our 7 year old!  After tucking in Eli we went outside to feed the triplets.
