Today sweet Clay is 10! We have had a fun filled day celebrating with Clay. The day began with 4 sleepy children watching Clay opening his presents, which were mostly Legos.

Sweet brothersAfter Clay opened his gifts we had a yummy pancake breakfast. I decorated the table with a Lego theme. All of the children were happily surprised by the table!
While everyone was waiting for me to cook the pancakes, they built things out of the Legos that were on the table.
Can you see the letters C L A Y that Clay constructed?
Leah built an airplaneClay requested that we travel to Shiloh National Park for a family bike ride for his birthday. Jimmy loaded all 7 bicycles and the little wagon for Leah and Sam to ride in while I packed us a picnic lunch. We drove to the park and arrived just in time for lunch. After about a 7 mile bike ride we repacked the van and truck and headed home.
When we got home from Shiloh, we all sang Happy Birthday to Clay and enjoyed delicious dirt cake. My pictures of Clay blowing out his candles are on another camera. I will add those later!
To end the day, our family had to go separate ways. Tonight was our local homeschool group's annual Father/Daughter Banquet. Jimmy took the girls to this special event, while I took Clay and Sam to CiCi's pizza (Clay's request!).
We also went to Walmart for Clay to spend some of his birthday money. He bought a new Razor Scooter (his old one was run over by the tractor or backhoe or the truck.....something like that.....I can't remember.) Anyway, he decided to replace it.
Our family came back together about 9:00 p.m., and we all watched the American Idol results before going to bed.
What a fun-filled day!
Happy Birthday Clay!

ReplyDeleteps. thanks for posting other folks blogs, I clicked into My Charming Kids, and was so inspired.

Tell Clay to add some of his birthday pictures to his blog...and post pics of his creations from his gifts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day. Love the table. I'm not generally that creative, but what a fabulous idea.

What great pics, Roan! Looks like a good time was had by all!
ReplyDeleteI was going to do a father -daughter dance with our Keeper's at Home group, but this year we're only doing the mother-daughter tea for Mother's Day. Maybe next year we'll do the dance. How fun!!
You certainly have a lovely family!! I would love to do a bike ride there, too!!
