Elijah's Birthday

Elijah turned 11 years old back on May 11th!!!  His golden birthday:)
I really didn't know what to make cake wise for his birthday and so my plan were to get an ice cream cake from the patio drive in.  Then 2 days before his party I saw this lego cake and decided to give it a shot.  Granted these are large duplo lego's but he didn't care as they were still legos:).

 He had 3 school buddies over(one being his cousin) and then also had a church friend as well.
 They played some basketball in the rain. 

 Elijah opened his gifts.
 And then things took a turn for the worst.  One of the kiddos got sick and threw up in the basement.  So I moved the party to the upstairs living room, we called the parents of the sick boy and they came to get him.  They played some games, then started watching a movie.  Then around midnight another one of his friends wasn't feeling well and he went home as well. 

So perhaps Elijah's Golden birthday party wasn't so "golden" but he said he had fun none the less.

Happy 11th Birthday Elijah.  We love you so much!!!

Cool cake!! I haven't ever seen that before. Man, what a bummer to have 2 kids go home. Hope your boys didn't get it.

Ha! We just had a Lego party for Noah's birthday too! Such a fun theme. What a bummer about the sick boys though! :(

Great job on the cake :) Also, I couldn't comment on the post about you doing Ellie's hair, but girls terrify me because of that! I just have never been good at it so kudos to you!
