Jordan turned 17 yesterday! He had school in the morning, but after he got home around 11, he opened presents!
We found a Rubik's Cube birthday banner that we had to get for him :) It's even cloth, so better quality than I had expected.
A bluetooth device that he can use to listen to music in his car.
Coleman's tag had a maze on it so Jordan solved that before opening the present.
Kenzie got him a stuffed cube. He's a cute little guy.
Jack sent a present too! A Metallica CD.
Doug pumped up his new Tottenham soccer ball.
Dribbling the ball with his foot.
Whenever Jordan get cube things (like t-shirts with cubes on them, tissue boxes, things like that) he likes to see if they're solvable. They usually aren't, but he thought this one would be. He made one of his new 3x3s look like it, so we know it is solvable!
After presents we went to Olive Garden for lunch. He wanted the other kids to think we were going to Puerta Vallarta. They were happily surprised when they saw Olive Garden! We hung out at home afterward. He had soccer practice.
Then we had Grandma Dance's enchiladas!
He played a the piano a lot. We got him a Piano Guys songbook so he had fun trying that out.
He chose peanut butter balls as his dessert. I thought it would be funny to just put in numbers that add up to 17 for the candles and he agreed.
I used melting chocolate instead of chocolate chips and it melted much more nicely and it was easier to dip the peanut butter balls.
They were delicious!
We played some family MarioKart after dessert.
And he watched some MarioKart youtube.
The Crabtree's present came in the mail!
Candy, a logic book, and Kanoodle. He loves them all!
