Sunday was Baby A's actual birthday and we celebrated it as best we could, given the fact that Covid-19 rules the lay of the land, for now. He had his same group of friends he always has over and they spent the night. I really enjoy seeing these boys together. Mijo basically fought to go to Crockett so he could stay in contact with these boys, he really should have gone to Akins High School because it is across the street more or less, from our community. These boys know how to handle our son and he can be a handful. I especially like the shortest one, he is about as quick with the mouth as our son and always has some comeback to argue with our boy. He said something at some point about his greatness and we kind of said it's a good thing you're not really bragging about how strong and great you are at school and all four of the boys in unison laughed and said "he never stops reminding us about how great and strong he is..." It was so perfectly funny how they all said it together.
We took the boys to lunch at Zaxby's, which sells chicken. Baby A pushed for Outback, but we had already taken them to pizza the night before, Outback would have been around $200. Wife suggested Chicken Express, which is a chicken place that we do love eating at, but they did not have indoor dining, so we ended up at Zaxby's since we had driven to Buda already. Zaxby's is really good, I think, and it had been awhile since we had eaten there. While we were there, my family called him on a group call and everybody wished him a Happy Birthday. They didn't talk long, but it was nice that they called.
This meal was eaten around 2:00-3:00pm and by 6:00pm, we were feeling hungry again. We had bought meat to grill Friday, but never made it, so I grilled the fajitas, sausages, chicken thighs and even a whole chicken Wife had defrosted a few days earlier. All was delicious as I cut it all and made fajita tacos out of it. By this time, his friends had gone home, so it was just us with Boy, Sweetie, and DD joining us to eat and then sing him Happy Birthday. Around this time, his other grandparents did a zoom call and sang Happy Birthday to him yet again.
All in all, Baby A said he enjoyed his birthday. We got him a few video games through Amazon, we took him to Best Buy and he got some game cards to buy stuff online through his PS4 and at some point, we promised to get him a PS5, when they become more widely available since it isn't much fun to play if his friends don't have a system to play online with him.
