Eli 4th Birthday

Even though Eli's birthday is today, last night we had his birthday party with his friends. When I asked him who he wanted to have over he said, Jackson, Tyler, Breck and Michael...easy enough! It was a great amount of boys. They had a great time swimming and eating. This year for his birthday I did 2 things I have never done. 1-let him pick a theme (I usually don't do the theme thing but figured...this is not MY birthday and it will make him happy-and it did!) and 2-bought a cake from the store. I just didn't want to make it this year.


He finally understood the concept of getting presents this year so he was very excited to open them. A few things he got...
Cars puzzle
Star Wars sticker/coloring book
2 board games
He loved his party and his gifts.

This morning for breakfast we made, what has become a birthday tradition, crepes.
Then he got to open the presents we got him...
Bat Man dress up PJ'sA Spiderman watch
A boogie board for the pool
Steve took the day off so we went to an early showing of Ice Age-we had the whole theater to ourselves-it was great. The movie was totally funny. I even got to take a nap for a few minutes.
We have just been hanging out playing with his toys and swimming. Tonight we may head to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner since both kids are in their 'Birthday Club' and I have 2 free kids dinners! SCORE!

I contemplated posting this but here it is: (because its my blog and I can!)
This morning he came into bed with Steve and I had him stand up to see if he had grown over night. I told him it looked like he got bigger, so he showed me his feet and said are they bigger? Then his hands and tummy. Then he pulled his PJ bottoms open and said-Did my pee pee get bigger like daddy's? So funny!!! Like one friend said after I told her what he said...it starts that young huh?

Very funny! I wonder if David will say funny stuff like that? If so... I hope his dad is with him and not me.

I like the cake with the cupcakes...how easy to serve is that? He looks so happy, and I think that it was fun for him to string out his birthday for 2 days. As for the pee pee thing - it never ends! Good luck on that one. Especially when Oliver gets here (3 guys in the house), you don't stand a chance!

Love the cupcake cake. Emma told me that he kept asking if the presents were his everytime he opened a new one. Too cute. Brandon also has issues with his "you know what". Hopefully he and Jake will only discuss their "you know what's" when I am not around.

It was the perfect party! I can't believe you did a theme birthday. Pretty soon we will see little Oliver wearing Winnie The Poor onesies.

I meant Winnie The Pooh!
