Friday October 21st Enoch turned 28 years old. We planned a family party at our house. WE made Enoch's favorite honey mustard Chicken with Greek salad, broccoli salad and fruit salad for dinner. I made the most amazing gluten free chocolate cake ever. It had moose in the middle with heath pieces and then a ganache on top with more heath. It looked amazing and tasted amazing as well. Gregorie came at the beginning and had to leave. Grandpa and Grandma Heileson came over as well as Rachael and her boys, Carter and Collin.
A few days before Enoch's birthday I asked what he wanted to eat and do for his birthday party. He asked for a pinata. I thought that it was hilarious but he wanted to do something fun for the kids. We bought a birthday hat pinata and filled it with candy, Halloween pencils and Rachel put her birthday present to him in it. (A tie) Everybody hit the pinata. It was a lot of fun. I think that I might do that at everybody's birthday's, even if you don't have a big party. It was fun to watch everybody try and hit the pinata blind folded. Enoch hit the pinata last to open it up.
I also got pin the tail on the donkey and everybody tried that too. Jacob, Kaelen, Carter and Collin really loved doing that. They kept playing it over and over again. I think they enjoyed mostly just putting the tail on odd places on the donkey.
We opened presents after that. Enoch got a couple of ties, some new Boise State slippers, a thermos water bottle, some gluten free food, money, Ensign subscription and new shoes for church. It was simple with presents but stuff Enoch needed, wanted, or didn't know he needed or wanted. It was really nice.
We blew out candles and had cake after. I will say that I think that it was one of the best gluten free cakes I have ever had, except the gluten free carrot cake i get from a friend on my birthday. It was so sweet and moist and oh so good. Everybody loved it.
We had fireworks left over from the 4th of July so we blew all those off after. It was fun to watch the kids outside excited to see them all go off. It was also a good time to use all of our fireworks. I am not sure if the neighbors liked it but the kids sure did.
Enoch said he had a great birthday. He loved all the emails, phone calls and presents. You all really helped make his birthday so wonderful. Thank you.

On a side note: The hat is the newest thing everybody gets to wear on their birthdays. Enoch was a trooper and wore it all night. It's a cake with candles on it if you didn't notice.
