From the pictures, it was clear that there were plenty of fun activities for Knox and his friends to enjoy, along with plenty of tasty treats that kept the kids coming back for more. The main event of the party, however, was undoubtedly watching the biggest football game of the season, Super Bowl LIX, together as the Eagles took on the Kansas City Chiefs.
The way the game panned out would have been exactly what Knox Kelly hoped for, as the Eagles dominated nearly the entire game. Although the Chiefs showed some fight toward the end, it proved to be too little too late, as the Eagles securing a 40-22 victory. Just like Knox, two Eagles players, running back Saquon Barkley and cornerback Cooper DeJean, also celebrated a perfect birthday on Sunday.

"When an MLB Vet feels like he’s 7 again ⚾️ Ken Griffey Jr. took this photo of Joe pitching in South Korea during last season’s Seoul Series. He reached out to little ol’ me to have it mailed to JK. He opened it, I told him who took the photo, he did this little twinkle toe type dance, grabbed some bubble gum and now we have a glimpse at this Big Kid whose favorite player of all time made his dreams come true! You’re the absolute 🐐 @therealkengriffeyjr THANK YOU!" Ashley Nicole Kelly captioned her Instagram post
After retiring from his baseball career, Griffey became a photographer and now covers numerous MLB games. At one such game, he captured a photo of Joe Kelly on the mound and later mailed it to the Kelly family.
