Happy 14th Birthday "E"!

AWESOME firework show!!

Pop was making sure he was protected after one of the smaller fireworks flipped over and sent things flying the wrong direction. Luckily the boys always have their airsoft gear outside and ready to go in case of any potential threat of attack. The pellets are rather annoying to step on, but I fell better knowing they're prepared for anything. Granddaddy was rather amused by it all!

The preshow entertainment. Legal NC fireworks!

Waiting for the fireworks show to start. By the time we were done there were another 10 kids and parents that showed up. Always something going on at the Bartholomew household. They know Mr. T LOVES to do fireworks.

Do they ever tire of this? Someone was tied to the STOP sign the other day......

A very willing “victim”.

Happy 14th birthday! Yes, we know there are only 13 candles on the cake. It was all we had and he had already blown one out on the dessert at the restaurant so we figured it all evened itself out!

“E”'s favorites! 5 lbs. of M&Ms, Laffy Taffy, and some Stride gum. Thanks Grandma and Pop! He also got some Jolly Ranchers, iced cookies, and doughnuts from Grandmommy. Rico wasn't very happy with the meowing b-day card and had to come and check things out.

Cash is always a favorite! Thank you Granddaddy!

Some of the guilty party. Notice J's expression. He wondered why he didn't have such fanfare on his birthday. S just reminded them when her's was and told them she expected the same. Notice her smile.



Happy Birthday “E”! Friends form the neighborhood made him a sign while we were out to dinner. No wonder they wanted to know what time we'd be home. And thank goodness he has some very tall friends. We knew something was up when we saw them scattering everywhere when we pulled into the neighborhood.

We had a great evening celebrating "E". He chose to eat at Rucker John's and they treated him like royalty, he came home to a greeting by his friends, ate some "wedding" birthday cake, and topped it all off with a spectacular fireworks show by his daddy. I am blessed to have such a good life!
