Elijah's tragic slumber party

For a month, Elijah planned to have two boys spend the night for his birthday: two friends, Chase M and Chase Mc. The first tragedy struck when Chase M's mom called on Thursday to say that he had been running fever for 3 days and couldn't make it to the slumber party. Elijah was very upset. We called another friend to come instead, but he couldn't. Elijah would have to settle for a sleep over instead of a slumber party.
His friend Chase Mc came home with us from school. We had a pizza dinner and then opened gifts. Chase gave Elijah a Lego set and a Bionicle--right up his alley.
He also opened his gift from Mimi and Papa, which was a Lego X-wing fighter with 6 mini-figures.
Elijah then opened the gift from us.
Another Star Wars Lego set.
Of course, after the presents we did cake.
The watched "Star Wars Episode 1". The second tragic event happen when Chase came up stairs at 9:15 and said that he wanted me to call his mom so he could go home. Chase's mom picked him up 30 minutes later and Elijah was so upset. He cried and cried because he has anticipated having a slumber party for his birthday and now he was going to bed alone (with just his brothers).

Poor Elijah! Oh the heartache!
