HAPPY BIRTHDAY Elijah!!!

8 years old!

Checking out his minecraft cake

Time to open presents!

Muffin with Mom's

Opening a birthday card from Aunt Vikki and Uncle Terry

Jared and I were up around 5:30.  Eli crawled back into bed after using the bathroom.  He was super excited when I went back to check on him.  Soon he and Adam were up.  His birthday cake  had some new lego minecraft skins on it.  He said he still had tingling in his belly.  We woke up Jacob around 6:00 and Eli was ready to open his presents.  He got gum, candy, glow sticks, a nerf gun and darts, a drone, light saber, legos, gel pens, drawing pads and handcuffs.  I didn't have to work breakfast this morning so I got to take Eli to Muffin with Mom's.  We also dropped off cupcakes for his class.  School was on lock down all day because of a deadly shooting on CMU's campus.  I got out around 1:00 because I had worked for Teresa.  I picked up Eli early but he hadn't passed out his cupcakes yet so I took him back in to do that. The schools were still on lockdown.   Jared met us at home around 1:30.  Eli and Daddy played with nerf guns and the handcuffs while the drone was charging.  Eli was opening his card from Aunt Vikki and said, "Its a glorious day for me!"  Nana and Papa called to sing to the birthday boy.  Papa sang happy birthday to his "punching bag".  Eli worked on his lego set and we helped him find pieces.  Eli helped us bottle feed the lamb and then Daddy drove down to get the boys off the bus.  Its was a nice sunny day and our road is super muddy.  Adam and Eli played mincraft together.  We went to McDonalds for dinner and Eli got a phone call from Grandma and Grandpa.  The McDonalds play area was being remodeled so after eating dinner we headed to Burger king for ice cream and so the boys could play.  Jacob say he's too big to play in the play area but Daddy had fun in there.  At home we helped Eli finish building his lego set.  Then we had cake/ice cream and sang to the birthday boy.  All the boys had fun flying around Eli's drone. Eli put his box on the cot and we watched Dragon Training.  It was a fun day celebrating with our 8 year old!
