Ezra's birthday is also today, and he's turning 18. But he wanted to say he graduated at 17, so we had his graduation a day before his birthday.
We got to celebrate yesterday and had smoked ribs, Spanish rice, cucumbers, and some other vegetables. It was so delicious. Some friends and family were over, and we watched Ezra open up presents, and my brother Nicholas made a toast. After lunch, we hung out watching old shows, and then my brother-in-law came over and brought ice cream. We then went to the pool and swam. After the pool, we all headed back to the house, had ice cream, and ended the night with a game of Uno.
Ezra went to bed, and some of us still played Uno. Eventually, we stopped, and our friend went home (literally lives across the street from us) except Cameron. He was already super tired, and it wouldn't be a good idea to drive all the way back home. So he stayed the night and even went to wish Ezra a happy birthday in his bed at midnight.
To be fair, I was the first to wish him a happy birthday. I stayed up for another two hours just cleaning the house since I had nothing else to do, and I needed to stay awake until midnight. I waited at his door at 11:59 until it was time. I even recorded myself saying "happy birthday," so I had evidence that I was first. I think Ezra was pretty confused because I woke him up, and he kept saying "okay?" and "what?" after I told him happy birthday. But at least I was first! Also, in the video, I wished I had gotten his face, but if I did show his face, I would be blinding him with my iPhone's flashlight. I don't think he would enjoy that very much. Anyway, here's the video:
