Cody's Birthday

Cody turned 16 on Friday! I can't believe he is so big! He didn't get his licence, he hasn't even taken drivers ed. His dad says that he needs to get good grades in order to do that and I heartily agree. He flunked two classes last year. So not acceptable and frankly, I'm glad that I'm not the one who has to deal with it on a day to day basis. I've got my hands full as it is.

For his birthday we all went to the Harbor Lights along with my mom and dad and Larisa. Pablo had family arriving from New York and Puerto Rico so he and Debbie couldn't make it. Cody loves halibut and chips and cheesecake so I thought it would be a good place to go and it was. We only paid for the six of us with our entertainment money and my dad picked up the rest. Yea!

We gave Cody a $300.00 gift card to Gamestop. My mom and dad got him $75.00 worth of Gamestop cards and Debbie and Pablo gave him $50.00. Lucky kid.

When we got home from dinner I could hear Cody rummaging around looking for something. Finally, he came and asked me if I had his gift card...the $300.00 one! I didn't have it so we called Robby at work and asked if he had it. He didn't so we called the Harbor Lights and lo and behold the bus boy had found it on the table and they had it in the office for us. Phew! Cody was certainly relieved. I had felt bad for him because he was so stressed.

We went and picked the card up on Saturday. I left a $20.00 tip for the bus boy who had found it. It would have been so easy for him to pocket it and I'm grateful that he didn't. Cody spent most of the gift cards buying the Playstation on Sunday.
