It's the BIG Day

We had Eli's party about a week before his birthday. However, I felt like it was very important to also do something special on his actual birthday (because he would know if we did not and never forgive us-right?). Soooo we had BIG plans for weeks for Mike to get off work early and go to the Children's Museum. However, I ended up also haveing to work, Mike did not get off until 5pm, and the Museum has something against working parents and closes at 5pm. So after I cried (and I really did) we came up with plan B. We went the Toys R Us and bought this awesome tent/tunnel thing with lots of little plastic balls, the NEW Christmas Tigger and Pooh Movie (more for Mike then Eli), and picked up some popcorn (more for Eli then us). It was a great evening and we only spent 10 more dollars then we would have at the Museum (much smarter of us).
It's even big enough for daddy!

Popcorn Picture in different Post... Mike thought his new like for popcorn was worthy of it's very own entry.

Birthday Boy

Eli had a Colts Birthday Party about a week ago. You ask why Colts for a baby boy... it went like this...

Mommy: Eli's birthday is coming up, what do you think the theme should be?

Daddy: A Colts theme

Mommy: OK

A week latter...

Mommy: I found a cake pan that would be good for Eli's party and have some decoration ideas.

Daddy: I only suggested that because I thought you would never let us have a Colts theme... it was to get a rise out of you.

Mommy: Too late... Colts party it is!


It is tradition in Mike's family "the daddy" makes the cake... well decorates it at least. Mike made the top cake (well done for his first cake) and I make the bottom one for Eli to stick his face in.
He was not so sure about all the singing!

This is about a messy as it got! At this point I think he was done this the cake!
He did a great job opening presents! I have spent months attempting to keep him from tearing paper... the toilet paper, Kleenex, my grocery list, books... so he was not hesitant when we told him to go at it and tear the paper.
And last... I have to picture my Football Jello creation!
