Elisha Turns 3!!!

Our little boy turned into a big boy! THREE! We enjoyed our traditional breakfast at Hot Off the Grill.

We had a great family celebration of Eli. We enjoyed dinner, presents, and cake.

Eli was VERY excited and with each gift he showed would express his joy with shrieks, gasps, and overall cheer. It was soooo fun to watch him thoroughly enjoy each and every gift.

Eli choose to have a construction themed cake and Mommy was quite happy with how it turned out. Eli loved the cake too. He did not enjoy everyone singing to him...he still struggles with having attention drawn to him. He was a champ at blowing out the candles and eating the cake.

Eli got to pop his 3 balloon for his 3 years, but he didn't want to so Daddy helped out. Eli stood by and watched, covering his ears, and then gathered his money when it was all done.

Our family celebration was made special by all our family.

Oh how we love Eli. He is a mommies boy. He wakes up consistently between 6 and 6:30, but loves to come cuddle with Mommy in bed. He loves to build legos, play cars, follow his big brother around and dominate over his little brother. He can say so many things and has such a large vocabulary. Everyday Mommy get the privilege of laying down with Eli for naps and his cuddles. Eli has also perfected the pouty face when he doesn't get what he wants. Eli is also our shy boy and it takes him a while to warm up to others. He is GREAT when it comes to mommy taking pictures...he knows just how to smile for the camera. One of his favorite sayings is "You are a bad/good guy" and it all depends upon whether or not he likes you at the time. He loves to have his blanket tucked in all around his legs when he is ready to go to sleep at night and continues to chew on the corners of his blanket. He is my prayer...has no problem listing all the owies, people, and things that mommy needs to pray for. He consistently prays for the students, Jordan, his two fingers, toes, Mommy's mouth, Bailey, Bailey's family, and I have to pray for each of the boys. Oh how precious he is to our family and to the Lord. May God draw him close to him, protect, and guide him through out his life.
