What a blessing these last two years of Eli have been! We're so glad Eli is a part of our family. Though his birthday is today, most of the celebrating has been done earlier in the week. On Sunday we had his party at Grandma and Grandpa Eldredge's house. While he couldn't have known exactly what was going to happen, he clearly knew something wonderful was going to happen and that it was his night. He was in such a happy, cute mood.
Here are Winnie the Pooh and his friends from the Hundred-Acre Wood wishing Eli a happy day:
We love Ethan and Emily! When Eli heard they were coming, he wandered around the house saying "Me-Me," which is what he calls both Emily and Aunt Amy, until they got there. When you ask him to say Ethan, he just points to him:)
After blowing out the candles, we told him he could take Pooh off the cake. He happily did and was pleased to see frosting on Pooh's feet. Eli quickly licked off the frosting, and when it was gone promptly stuck Pooh back into the cake, pulled him out again, and licked off the new frosting. I watched him do this several times, laughing all the while, until someone took the cake away from him to stop the double dipping. Hey, it's his party, I say!
This truck was the favorite gift of the night. It was the cause of much joy and much sadness.
Happy birthday my darling boy. We love you!

The cake is adorable! How clever you are.
So cute. I can't believe he's so big! He was born just before we moved away. Just goes to show you how fast time flies with little ones.
