Happy Birthday Uncle Eric!

Today the family got together to celebrate Eric's birthday party. His big, bad 30th birthday isn't for a couple of days, but we got together a couple days early to celebrate. Leilani made a great meal-the chicken was amazing! She used a bunch of herbs and seasonings from Israel-delicious! We had a great time hanging out and talking...and eating...

Eli and Katie thoroughly enjoyed Eric & Leilani's giant bean bag. It can actually expand to a queen size! It was so comfy!

Pretty sure Eli wanted to take his nap right there!

Birthday boy! (Side note-that's the cake I made. I cut it into a '30'. It was a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting. It tasted good, but holy cow was it rich! I totally cheated on the icing, though. I just bought vanilla icing and put some peanut butter in it. It's the first time I've bought icing in quite a while...no homemade butter cream icing this time...but it did taste good!)

The happy brothers. I love getting together with all the brothers and hearing stories about the things they did as kids. They seem to love to tell on each other :)

Mommy and daddy :) They are expecting their first baby in December. Leilani looks so cute pregnant! You can't really tell in this picture...but she is showing. They have their nursery done and it's super cute. Leilani painted a couple of pictures for it-they are adorable! Only 17 weeks left until Eli has another cousin!

We had a great time today. They day just flew by-suddenly it was after 7 and we had to head home to put Eli to bed. Pretty sure we're heading to bed soon too...mommy and daddy are tired! In fact, Edgar is sitting here on the couch next to me sound asleep...I suppose I should sign off early and get to bed :)
