Happy 16th Birthday Cameron

Today was Cameron's 16th birthday.  Since we couldn't have his traditional night out with friends to celebrate, we had to come up with others ways to commemorate the big day.  Meg spent quite a bit of time shopping online for the perfect gifts.  Doug picked up Antonio's for dinner and cheesecake for dessert.  I decorated the house and even found the same SpongeBob tablecloth that he had at his 6th birthday party.  Cal got off of work just in time to join the celebration and Brett called Cam at the end of the night to see how it went.

Cam had a great day at school as the teachers and his friends at Bethany showered him with posts, pictures and birthday wishes.  He spent the afternoon on the phone with his friends playing games.  The seafood ravioli he ordered was delicious and he loved the presents he received - wireless headphones, Kohl's gift card, money, Racko, a lime green hoodie and drawing pencils.  He was impressed that Brett found a Lions sign and pennant for him and enjoyed trying out his new miniature drone and trivia game.  

I was really concerned that Cameron's birthday wouldn't be as fun for him as in years past since we couldn't host a party.  In the end I had nothing to worry about as he told us that it really was an awesome day complete with an IU basketball victory over Iowa to end the evening.  I was glad that we could be a part of his special day.  Seeing how happy he was made my heart smile.
