On his birthday Morgan got off work early and we all went bowling together.
Noelle had a hard time understanding that she could not constantly bowl...taking turns was necessary.
After bowling we had Eli's birthday dinner. He requested Subway. We ordered our food and went to a local park to eat.
I had the WORST sandwich ever. The avocado/guacamole was disgusting. It must have been made with completely unripe avocados. I no longer like Subway, too many meals with substandard food. I have also decided that if I am ever going to pay for for guacamole at any restaurant I will ask for a small taste first. I don't want to repeat the experience of having dinner be a trial to eat.
Everyone else liked their food though.
Eli's main birthday present was fixing up a six-speed bike that was given to us. The whole gear system had to be replaced, but he was pretty happy with it. He also got the CTR shirt he is wearing from one set of grandparents and a sweet book from the other set.
Eli saw a box of instant cheese cake at the store and asked to have that for his birthday cake. He kept telling me that it was pie, and I had to tell him it was just shaped like pie, but that this dessert is called cheese cake.
Saturday we had a friend birthday party for Eli.We played some baseball in the yard while we waited for everyone to come.
Then we had a talent show. The invitation asked everyone to bring a talent to share. We got to listen to the violin, the piano, see gymnastics, art work and pogo sticking.
After the talent show the kids all bobbed for apples. It was not easy, and many of the kids ended up quite wet.
Then it was time for the pinata!
And birthday cake. This cake was chocolate with raspberry filling and chocolate ganche frosting.
