Happy Birthday E!

Our Eli turns 2 on May 7th, but my mom is going to Washington tomorrow to be with my sister while she has a new baby. So we decided to have Eli's birthday party a week early. I get so excited for my boys birthdays! I'm so grateful we had so many family members come to his party. He got lots of presents: clothes, pjs, sunglasses, sweet monkey rain boots, church shoes and of course toys. I was going to decorate little monster cupcakes, but ran out of time so they were just cupcakes with designs and smiley faces.

Eli wouldn't pull the presents out of the bag;

he would dump the bags out.

Eli got a Cars book that had a map of Radiator Springs
and little cars to drive around on the map. It was a hit!

So excited for his church shoes!

The monkey boots. Eli was a bit afraid of them
at first but warmed up to them by the end of the night.

Blaine and Emma. They are such good friends.
Love it!

(Like Blaine's outfit? He wouldn't let me get him dressed.)

The cupcakes.

I adore this boy.

Had to get a bit of help from brother to blow the candles out.

Beautiful girl!

They all pretty much licked the frosting of then asked for another one.
