Eli turned 6 on February 15! Out of all of my children, Eli's childhood has gone by the fastest. Because he and Emery are so close in age, we often have to look back at pictures to remember his first 2 years...seriously! He's such a sweet boy and is growing into a fine young man.
A little surprise on his birthday morning.
There's nothing like lighting up 2 giant donuts for breakfast on your birthday :)
We saved 1 last present so he would have something to open on his actual birthday. Aunt Michelle, Uncle Brad, Keith, Kylee & Kate sent these super hero masks. They go right along with the Christmas presents they gave him.
Our kids get to have a friend birthday party every 5 years and Eli chose to have a swim party at a local hotel. There was much jumping on this bed! Check out the balloon wall...isn't that cool?
Katelyn & Emery were experimenting with static electricity!
Grandma, Grandaddy & Uncle Lurch drove up for the party. They were a huge help!
We played several games in the pool. This was "follow the leader" while doing a jump. Elijah had the face to go with his jump.
Mamaw & Papaw drove up for the party and got right in on the action. Having 7 adults on hand made everything go smoothly.
Elijah, Tyler, Eli & Jake hanging out on round 2 of swimming.
Elese was so excited to swim but really didn't get in at the party. She was sick the week before and just really wasn't up to it.
Jenna & Elese having some fun in the hotel room.
Time for cake!
After pizza, ice cream cake, presents & swimming we had some fun playing games with the balloons.
Eli truly loved his party. He was so excited to get this necklace! He wears it all.the.time! My little man is growing up so quickly. We are truly blessed to be his parents.
