Elijah anxiously awaited his 6th birthday and we shocked him with his cake (a giant chocolate chip cookie by request) and presents the night before. You can see by his face that he was pleased with this arrangement. Why, you say, does his cake have a 5 candle on it? Well, the store was completely out of 6 candles and this tradition cannot be repressed. Elijah decided that 3+3 and 5+1 could be substituted since both of these have a sum of 6!

When I went to get Elijah’s gifts from the closet, they had disappeared! In their place was a list of clues to their whereabouts. He found them all swiftly and zealously.

By far, his favorite present was MarioKart for the Wii. He has since achieved tremendous mastery of a system that mystified him previously. He gives Daddy a run for his money!
