ELI TURNS FIVE!!!

Eli had more parties than any kid deserves!  Friends party at Build a Bear, and then my parents came by Saturday and then a family party Sunday night--and then his actual birthday (this) Monday morning we had a little donut party and he got his presents from the family.  

Here's a few shots from Sunday.  My mom with little Emmy.  She's getting some hair!  
 Eli, giddy over a card.  I love this little boy!
 Not to be outdone, my parents brought Dora a princess present too.  She really is a little princess.
 Uncle Brian was still there Saturday night.

 Eli was dressed well--he got a pitching machine! It was one of the few things he asked for.  Thanks Papa and Lerdleluh!
 They also gave him and Whit crossbows.  (Nerf, of course.)
 Think Whit was excited?
 Dora got a puppy.  She doesn't like American girl dolls, but she likes their pets.

 A family that crossbows together stays together?!?
 Here's Uncle Clint standing behind him for moral support in blowing out the candles Sunday night.

 And here's Monday morning!
 HAPPY to get his Leap Pad.


 The loot!
 Whit was really tired but the kids were so glad to have him there.
 Dora especially.  They are so cute and funny together.

 Oh and Dora put these on and said, "Mom, now you not poke my eye."  Because I so often do.
Happy Fifth Birthday, Eli! We love you so!
