OUR FINAL WEEKEND IN MICHIGAN!!!!!

Zachary's birthday is February 9th. Since we are living at Emily's house, we decided to include them in the birthday celebration and Friday night was the only open night. Zachary chose pizza, ice cream and root beer for his dinner choice. Just as I was getting ready to make the pizza, Emily stopped me and said they were taking us out to eat for MY birthday (which is February 18th).

Dan & Emily took us to a mexican restaurant that was to die for. We demolished the first two bowls of chips and salsa, so they brought two more. Then we ordered and had much more than we would want to eat (although, most of us finished our meals). Elyse ordered a children's meal, which wasn't enough for her to eat. She finished Zachary's adult meal and two of my tortillas. We had a fun time eating scrumptious food.

After dinner, we let Zachary open his presents. His first one was a box of "Cinnamon Toast Crunch" cereal. Remember last year? He asked for "Frosted Flakes." I guess this boy is hungry for junk food (we have to stop making that healthy stuff). George helped unwrap his present.

Not to cheat him out of his gifts, he also got a "Nerf Dart Tag" set for two players. Zachary & Elyse have been shooting each other since. We haven't lost any darts yet, but we came close.

If anyone wants to get shot, let Zachary know.

Saturday, we made Zachary's birthday dinner at lunch time. We made homemade pizzas. Besides sauce, we put mushrooms, green peppers, sausage, and pepperoni on it. It was very good. For dessert we had ice cream with chopped candies on top (Heath bars and Butterfingers). For our drink, we had root beer (some of us had leftover Vernors - we ARE in Michigan now!).

It has been a GREAT weekend so far!

Dad will be going back to VH on Sunday. Z, E & I will be going back on Friday (as soon as Dad comes back to get us).
