Day Two Hundred Thirty One 2012

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.

Day Two Hundred Thirty Two 2011

Grandson Elijah turned 5 years old on August 17. His big birthday bash was today at his house with lots of family and friends on hand to help him celebrate this milestone. It was hot today, so the kids had a blast on the giant slip and slide, and the grown ups enjoyed the cool mist blowing on us from the slide. We enjoyed yummy cake, punch and ice cream, and watching Elijah open his cards and gifts was like watching a whirl wind. The kids each took a swing at the T Rex pinata, then raced around collecting the candy that showered out of it after they broke it. Elijah seemed to enjoy his big day. I'm always thankful to get to be a part of watching him grow up. Happy Birthday, Elijah! I love you!!
