The Gift giver

Today we celebrated Grandma Shoemakers birthday.  We spent the afternoon at Grandma and Grandpas house.  We helped Grandpa put together a meal for Grandma.  The one rule was that she was not aloud to help.  It was her day off from cooking and doing dishes.  Grandpa did a fantastic job, and we enjoyed a meal complete with Filet Mignon, Sweet Corn, Sweet Potatoes, Salads and of course cake and ice cream.  It was a fun afternoon.




Micah and Elijah were a little restless but Uncle Thomas and Aunt Annie came to the rescue!  They sat on the deck with the boys and helped them to create a sailboat out of twigs,string and tissue paper!  Ella arrived just in time to see the amazing creation and requested that she have help making a kitty cat.

 

This is the creation that Micah made for Grandma, he was very proud of all of the different items he used to complete it.

It seems that Micah has discovered the joy of not only receiving gifts, but giving them as well.  As we were eating and enjoying our afternoon, Micah was secretly working on the perfect creation to give Grandma for her birthday.
