We had a great day celebrating Evan yesterday!
His day started with his gifts from Issa, Brad, and I. Issa spent extra time wrapping hers, complete with a pull-tab for the first layer of paper:
After he got through all seven layers, he was thrilled to find a Munch Box:
Each month, he will receive a box of five snacks from around the world. He was especially excited to discover that three of his snacks this month were from Japan!
Brad and I gave him a FitBit Charge 3:
He was ready to graduate from his VivoFit for kids, and he spent the rest of the day updating us on his numbers of steps and flights of stairs.
After his requested monkey bread for breakfast, he and Issa did his pinata. I took no pictures because I am not insane. A stick wouldn't break it, so they tried shooting it with a nerf gun, a wooden sword, a muscle roller, and finally got it with a shoe!
Issa helped me bake the cake this year:
And Brad went to get the requested Wendy's for lunch. Thankfully ours still had burgers at that point! They were out by dinner last night.
After our lunch walk, we broke out the big surprise. We had gotten an escape room kit for the afternoon:
The premise is that you are caught in a mummy's tomb, and each box had a different puzzle to solve:
Issa's knowledge from her sixth grade unit on Egyptian history and mythology was very helpful, and once they got going they had fun solving the puzzles:
The last one required a lot of spatial relationships, but they got it:
We made hibachi for dinner, and Nana and Shannon were able to join us for his Audi R8 cake:
I never get good cake pictures, but miracles happened this year!
He had all kinds of calls and texts and Hangout messages from his friends yesterday, and he proclaimed it the best birthday ever last night. Even a pandemic can't keep us from celebrating our boy.
