Today is Cameron’s 17th birthday.  He went to school and then to his dad’s house for the evening.  While he was gone, we decorated his bedroom with crepe paper…. looks like a prom in there……  a very messy prom. 

From the Hafen’s:  $30, a video game, one month of free cell service and dinner at Red Lobster.  Martha, Cameron’s soon to be ex-step-mother, brought by a $15 gift card to cold stone creamery (ice cream shop) and some cupcakes. 
From us:  a nice watch, locking gas cap, “the raven” (by poe) on mp3, and Elizabeth got him some magnets to stick on his truck that look like bullet holes.  Doreen got him a card and some cash also, which he really appreciated.
Most of the Nelson’s (my side of the family) called or texted.
