An Early Birthday Surprise ...

September 2, 2016

The Knight family finally arrived ...

they were so excited ... because the boys knew we were going to celebrate ...

Ella's birthday early ...

After lighting 9 candles and singing "Happy Birthday"

it was time to open her gifts ...

Ella was so excited ... she was wishing for a Mermaid Tail ...

and was totally surprised when she opened up the package ...

Ella couldn't wait to try it on ...

she really wanted to go out and jump in the pool ...

but it was almost 10:00 and the nights were getting cool ...

so it was decided that she would go swimming in the morning ...

Grandpa was busy stoking the wood furnace to heat up the pool water ...

The boys couldn't wait to show their friend Mason ...

their Great-great Grandfather's mechanical toy ...

of the bartender shaking up a Martini ...

taking a sip of it ...

and then watching his face turn red ...

while smoke was coming out of his ears ... as the drink was too strong for him ...

The kids watched him over and over again ...

and then finally made their way out to the shop ...

but not before everyone had some Birthday cake ... !!!
