Happy Birthday ELI!

Eli is three years old. His birthday was Saturday the 25th. (I got home from my trip to Utah late Friday night in order to celebrate with him.) We had a really great day. In the morning he went disc golfing with Morgan and his Uncle Guy. Then we had Papa Murphey's pizza for lunch followed by presents, playing, then birthday cake.

Eli was very concerned that Josh was going to get his presents and had to keep them out of Josh's reach. He also was really cute and stopped to read the book from Grandma and Grandpa Lasley before he would open any other presents. The tractor and chairs from Guy have been a big hit, as has the cow bowling ball set from Aunt Amy. Eli also got Hungry Hungry Hippos and LOVES to play it. As loud as it is and as crazy as it is, I am glad that we picked it out for him because he enjoys it so much.

Eli just returned from Papa Murphey's showing off his sticker.

Birthday Lunch! We let him have all the pop he wanted. After a little while he told us his belly was full (it REALLY was) and that he needed to go poop. I helped him onto the toilet where he let out a big BURP and then he said we was done and ready to play again.
I just think this is such a sweet face. We were singing Happy Birthday to him before
we opened presents and he just stood there smiling.
As soon as he saw Clifford while opening this present, he says, "It has Clifford on it!" Then he had to sit down and read the book.

Eli got $ from Grandma & Grandpa Palmer, we're going to let him take it on our vacation so he can buy whatever he wants.
This is what Eli did when we asked him to hold up the presents so Dad could get a picture. Why kids cover their face, I don't know.
Horray for Hungry Hungry Hippos!
The new tractor
Bowling for "Cow Tanks" as Eli calls them.
We had to play the game.
More gaming
CANDLES!
The big blow.
Mmmm, good.

Happy Birthday Eli! I was hoping we could catch you guys on ichat tonight, so the girls can say Happy Birthday to him. We have a gift, but we'll give it to him when you get here!
