Day Two Hundred Thirty 2013

ELIJAH’S 7TH BIRTHDAY PARTY

Grandson Elijah turned 7 years old on August 17 (Saturday). He celebrated today with his family and friends at his house.

His mom and dad help make his day really special each year with a giant water slide ~ one of the joys of having a summertime birthday.

Granddaughter Shelby, grandson Knox, grandson Elijah and daughter Holly had a blast on the slide.

A close family friend, Tammy, made Elijah’s awesome camo cake. Elijah and his dad love to hunt, so the cake was decorated with deer, turkeys and a hunter with a cross bow.

Elijah enjoyed his ‘Tammy cake’ and yummy ice cream and homemade punch.

We all enjoyed it! There were 20 people at Elijah’s party today.

Of course, the best part is opening all those great presents.

He received lots of cards, too, and read them all.

Elijah had a monstrously good time at his party. Happy Birthday, Little Man, who is quickly getting to be not-so-little any more. Granny loves you!!

Elijah Celebrates Being SIX!








Grandson Elijah turned 6 years old yesterday, and today his family and friends helped him celebrate this happy milestone with an Angry Birds themed party and a huge Slip and Slide in his back yard. Cake, ice cream, punch, balloons, birthday hat, slippin’ and slidin’ on that giant water slide, and taking a shot at the Angry Birds pig piñata then gathering up a bag full of candy all added up to a very happy birthday for one of the best kids on the planet. I’m glad I got to watch you having so much fun on your special day. Happy Birthday (again) !! Granny and Grandpa love you very much.

Granddaughter Shelby celebrated her 11th birthday this afternoon, partying with family and friends. The kids, big and small, enjoyed a huge water slide in the back yard. We all enjoyed that delicious cake. And Shelby really enjoyed the cash gifts inside all those birthday cards. What a totally fun way to turn eleven. As her birthday balloon says, Another Year Of Fabulous! Happy Birthday, Shelby!
