Elliott's Birthday Party

 Another Elliott birthday party is in the books. He was really indecisive this year, and could not decide what he wanted to do for the longest time. But, he finally settled on going to Dave and Buster's. 

So, Rachel and Jacob came home with us after school on Friday. The kids all played together for the afternoon, and then at 6:00 pm we had a reservation at Dave and Buster's. 

We ate supper there, and it was pretty decent food. The kids all got some pizza and buffalo wings, and I got a steak bowl which was really good, and John got a burger and fries, which was decent. We took our time eating and visiting, and then let the kids loose to play some arcade games. They had a blast, and they each got some good items from the store at the end. 

Dave and Buster's was a pretty fun place to go for a birthday, but it was pretty expensive. It's definitely a special occasion place only. 

Elliott also got some gifts from his friends. He got a Pokemon Advent calendar, a Charmander stuffed animal and a book from Jacob, and he got candy, gum, and Pokemon megabuild blocks from Rachel. We also enjoyed a cookie cake from Mary's Mountain Cookies. 

Jacob went home after Dave and Buster's because he had Hockey tournament the next day, but Rachel spent the night. We headed home, and the kids watched a movie and then went to bed. 

All in all, it was a great birthday party. The kids had fun and made some great memories. Today, the kids played in the basement (and destroyed it) and then had a Nerf war outdoors. We brought Rachel home around lunch time, and then ran some errands, cleaned the house, and finally are relaxing for a while. 

It's also Elliott's birthday eve. He officially turns 10 tomorrow. We plan to treat him out to supper with Grandma and Grandpa, and shower him with some gifts tomorrow. I cannot believe he will be 10 tomorrow. Time really does fly. 

But, I'm going to read a little, watch some SDSU football on TV, and just enjoy the rest of my Saturday.
