Elliot's 8th Birthday- Defy

We finally got around to celebrating Elliot's birthday when we were back home in January. First step: Make a Minecraft angel food cake!

 

I always have plenty of helpers

Elliot headed up the frosting and decorations himself! We put on plenty of strawberries and whipped cream along with Minecraft figurines. I suggested waiting until right before eating to put the whipped cream on, but Elliot was not convinced that it would be fine to do it earlier in the morning so I let him. It looked fairly mushy but tasted delicious at cake time!


Birthday lunch of Pizza and cake. Then we took Elliot's best buds James and Kelton with us to Defy!

He's got muscles. He's got muscles on his muscles. He's got muscles on his eyeballs. 

No one could vanquish Isaac, the true king of the mountain

The swiss cheese - foam pit combo!

"That guy's my Elliot!"

Technology at it's finest. It was a projector with a touch screen that let you clear matches when you hit clusters with a ball. I kept trying to explain to Elliot that you were supposed to throw the balls from a distance, but he was unconvinced. 

Proof that Elliot is brave these days! I was so proud of him!

Proof that Aaron is a cool dad.

Kelton gave Elliot a literal bag of dirt for his birthday! Well, technically it was clay harvested from the wash near our houses. It came with a YouTube video about how to process your own clay. We had a lot of fun mixing it up with water... but then kind of forgot about it and didn't make it to the awesome pottery stage.

Elliot says "Stuff. And I smell great." Keeping this sentence in here is a belated birthday gift to him.
