Grant's 12th Birthday!

Birthday Boy wanted a donut for breakfast! They were each in individual boxes due to covid (corona virus).

His birthday was a Thursday, so he had school. He said that it was good day. 
 
We had a family celebration after dinner. 
He wanted to open presents first thing after dinner!
Victoria and Christian bought him gifts together. One gift was a candle because he loves to smell things and also likes fire. 
The second gift was a hoodie that he wanted.
I had him reenact the handshake sequence that he and Christian did.

Katherine and I gave Grant some books in a series that he is reading. He read the first book in the Ender's Game series by Orson Scott Card. When I  came across a ton of books from the series on Marketplace, I knew he would be thrilled with them.
 
Lastly, he opened these boxing gloves! He was super pumped because he knew that that meant that there was a punching bag! Also an awesome Marketplace score for G-man! Workout gear is majorly marked up these days, so a new one was way over budget. However, we found a like new condition used one! Woohoo, Grant was pumped! (Video wouldn't post properly).

We planned to play games next, but he really wanted to try out the new bag. We were glad that he was so happy. We did play a couple games that were really fun. We played "Guess that Smell" and ____________. 
Lastly, we sang Happy birthday and had a birthday dessert. He lit his own candle before we sang.
 
Grant requested brownies and Neopoliton ice cream for dessert.

I think it is safe to say that he had a fantastic birthday!
