HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELIJAH!

Last night we went to Chuckie Cheese's to celebrate Elijah's second birthday! He actually turned 2 on August 31st, but alas, late is better than never in some cases.
They started off by riding all the character toys. Bob was popular with Elijah...


Simon preferred the mouse in the car.


The Elijah moved to the Big Man, none other than Chuckie himself!


Simon really liked the mouse!

Finally, he gave Bob the Builder a try.


Then we moved to the games. Kicking a ball was so much fun.


Simon gave it a try also.


Then they shot little jungle flies or something weird like that.


Aunt Olivia helped them shoot baskets. Simon is for sure no athlete.

Elijah played on the inside jungle gym.

Then we all ate. Pizza, fries, wings and bread sticks. Sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen.



But it was very good.


Elijah is waiting for the cake!


" I need some too!"



Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you...


My big boy blew out his own candles!


Simon enjoying his piece.


Elijah moved past the fork to the fingers. Much easier to use and they don't fall on the floor.


Nonna is debating the texture, the smell, the deliciousness of the cake. :)

"See my cake?"




Aunt Olivia and Simon pose for a pic.


Aunt Carolyn put the ribbons from the cake on Elijah's head. They left a green food dye streak through his hair.


Birthday balloons.

And now the presents. He got some dinoROARS as Elijah calls him.



What else is in the bag?



Coloring pages.


And Bible Books.

We all had such a wonderful time celebrating the life that out Creator has given us to share in. He's such a blessing to us and we know that through prayer, training and God's grace, Elijah will grow into a strong, Christian man who does not compromise is full of the Spirit of the Lord.

Is Nonna your mother? If so, you look alot like her! And you look like Olivia as well.
