Scenes from Eli's Birthday

This year we gave Eli the option, party OR take the money we would have spent on a party.
Eli chose to take the $. So yesterday we spent the day doing whatever Eli wanted to do.
We went to Waffle House, we played his new XBOX game, we played with the LEGOS that Aunt Molly and Grandma sent, we went to Taco Bell, we played more XBOX.
Then, last night, we went to my parents house and roasted hot dogs and made smores.
He also tried out the new bike Maw Maw & Paw Paw gave him.
Eli was king for a day, and I think he enjoyed it!

1. Eli looks so grown up in the "playing xbox next to dad" picture.
2. What was the new game?
3. Sorry for the 500+ pieces, but Eli looks happy (so does Brooks for that matter).
4. Is that a tackle box full of candy? Great idea!
5. The hot dogs and smores look yummy.

The game is called Facebreaker. Eli is funny playing it because he can't keep his legs still. He is in constant motion! He LOVES the LEGOS. Brooks was worried that he won't get something as "cool" for his birthday. The box was full of candy & Toys because Eli likes to carry his stuff around with him like as hobo. His old box was too small so we upgraded it for him!
Long answer I know!

Brooks is too funny. I was eyeing another set with him in mind. I think it might have been a star wars set. They also had the original Indiana Jones set...just need guidance!
