Yes, we now officially have a teen in the house!! This past weekend Eli celebrated his 13th Birthday!! We are so proud of him...he is such a good big brother and friend to all, he enjoys going to church, he's very smart, and athletic too...he's growing up to be such a nice young man! We're looking forward to this new chapter of our lives:) His party was a blast! He had it at the roller rink. It was his first boy/girl party (oh my goodness)! They skated for 2 hours, had pizza & cupcakes, and gifts, and his group even got to be guest DJ's for 1 song. After the party the kids came back to our house for kareoke fun & snacks....girls left at 9pm, and then the slumber party continued. They played video games, and watched a movie, but they were all pretty tired by midnight.
We did have a very heartbreaking situation arrise. To make a long story short, we had put all of the gifts & cards Eli recieved, our camera, diaper bag, cupcakes etc. in a rubbermaid box. Well, in the process of leaving the roller rink, the box was stollen!! We searched the whole roller rink inside and out, and to no avail! My # was even in the diaper bag on a permission slip, and no call! We were so upset, but at the same time didn't want to make a huge deal, as the party was still going on, and we wanted him to enjoy every minute of it! Anyhow, we are so thankful for such wonderful Grandparents & friends, as they surprised Eli with duplicit gifts later on Sunday...very thoughtful!!
When I said good night to Eli on Sunday, he hugged me, thanked me for the best party ever, and said it didn't matter about the gifts, he was just happy to be with his family and friends:)
