It's Birthday time!!

Some one's turning 11!!! 

Can't believe it's our Cameron!!

 

For his birthday one of his very best friends

and her family

came from Ely, NV to spend the birthday weekend with us... 

Emalinne turned 11 last week,

and Eva turns 4 next week,

so party we DID! 

Grandma Annie, Papa and Aunt Jenny were able to come down and have dinner with us and celebrate! 

Ema gave Cameron a box with treasures, including this special little turtle 

Emmalee & Henry 

Aunt Jenny and Uncle Clint gave him this little Ty Beanie Baby - which he loves and affectionately has named "Gurgie" & some Kit Kats of his own!

(they are Uncle Clint's favorite too!)

 

(he named it after the little creature on the Black Cauldron...

 a voice Cam does really well LOL) 

His Dad and Mom gave him the Kingdom Keepers numbers III & IV.

He loves this series and received I &II for Christmas!

His collection is now complete! 

We didn't get a photo of this... but it is a HUGE box of chocolate puddings!

His FAV! 

He is set for the next couple of months!

LOL

Austin & Eva 

Sorensen's gave him 2 really cool puzzles! 

Happy Birthday little Eva!

We gave her a little monkey she named Michael! 

Happy Birthday Ema! We gave her a little puppy and a BYU T-shirt

(she wants to be an animator when she grows up... and the Y has a fantastic program for that!

So though she is only 11 years old... she has a "plan" & a dream to follow! :) ) 

Mom and  Dad also gave Cameron 6 weeks of Basketball classes... something he has been asking for for years!  

But Papa and Grandma Annie gave him the most precious gift of all...

He has a toy harmonica, and loves it, but has been saving his money to buy a real one so he can learn how to actually play one. Grandma Annie heard this and so...

She gave Cameron the harmonica that HER Grandma played as a teenager and young adult.

This is his Great-Great-Grandma Mathews' harmonica!

With the original box.... dated 1823-1903! 

What a CHOICE gift!

Cam's mom took the box for safe keeping, and Cam went and got his special box to keep it in.

It will be a treasured item that is FOR SURE! 

Liza helping get the cake ready... 

He requested chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, so we laced his cake choice with his favorite candies as well! :)

We sang "Happy Birthday"and then the birthday girls helped him blow out his candles!

 

We are so excited to play for the weekend! 

Even Mom with her friend too!!
