We are so blessed to have the neighbors we do. Dave and Lu got the kids these beautiful carnival style games. They had a blast playing them.

Unfortunately, Eli wasn't taking really good care of our gift. He threw the bowling ball really hard and broke it.

Mama had to teach a hard lesson. 

We always have the choice.

He chose to be rough with his toys (not to mention a few other birthday toys he took apart with a screwdriver) and now he is not getting gifts for Christmas. The choice is his to either appreciate and take good care of his things or not get new items.

Hopefully he learns the importance of being responsible.
