Eli got a card and money from Aunt Vikki and Uncle Terry 

The boys woke up this morning around 6:30am.  They were all so excited about having a snow day!  Jared took the day off work so we could all spend today celebrating with the birthday boy!  Eli cuddled on Daddy’s lap for a few minutes while waking up.  Then he went to check out his birthday cake.  It was a Star Wars BB8 cake which he loved.  Jacob and Adam thought it was really cool too.  Jacob read Eli his card and then he was ready to open presents.  He opened some surprises from his brothers.  Jacob made him a paper spinner and some paper claws and Adam made him a cool drawing.  Next he opened some glow sticks, the Cars dvd,  fleece pants, a glow in the dark shirt,  some colored pens, whoppers (candy), a lego ninjago spinner, a scooter light, and a new scooter.  Eli had fun riding around in the house on his scooter and so did Jacob and Adam.  Then Jacob and Adam helped Eli build his lego ninjago set.  Around 11:30 we headed to the Midland forest.  The kids had a lot of fun sledding there!  Norman was with us and the boys thought it was funny when Daddy took him down the small hill.  Then we headed to McDonalds for lunch and to play.  We also stopped at the pet store before heading home.  At home the boys played with legos for awhile.  This evening we made pizza for dinner and watched movies.  We watched Night at the Museum and Cars.  After the first movie we sang to the birthday boys and had cake and ice cream. Papa called and told Eli that he was going to give him 6 birthday punches in his arm.  Eli laughed and says he's gonna punch Papa 1000 times in the arm cause he's so old.   It was a great day celebrating Eli turning 6!

Got a call from the school this morning saying that school's closed today for a snow day!  There was a winter storm warning in effect.  It was early but I was so excited and couldn't get back to sleep.  I drank my coffee and waited for the boys to wake up.  Eli woke up first and cuddled on my lap.  The boys were super excited when I told them about the snow day!  They watched Ninjago for awhile and then started making lots of paper airplanes, cootie catchers, and paper claws.  I spent several hours making and decorating cupcakes and a cake for Eli's birthday.  Adam loved helping me.  The boys all had fun decorating the cupcakes for Eli's class.  The roads were really bad by the time Jared got out of work.  They called off school again for tomorrow!  Yay!!!  Even more exciting since now Eli gets to spend his birthday at home! This evening Jacob and Adam helped me wrap presents and blow up balloons in the bedroom.  They lock the door and you had to use a code to get in.  They made some extra surprises for Eli's birthday.   

Adam accidently got hit in the lip so Jacob came to the rescue.  Jacob is being an ambulance.

Hard to believe my baby is going to be 6 tomorrow!!!
