11.14.2010-Eli's Birthday Party...take 3!

Sunday the 14th we had yet another birthday celebration for Eli. It truly was a birthday WEEK for him :) This time we celebrated with Edgar's family. We had gotten home from church and Eli ate and went down for a nap (that he never actually took...). Everyone arrived around 1 and we ate (and Eli got out of bed). We had (you guessed it!) chicken & rice :) Eliott got tricked into reading a book to the kids...and they just kept bringing him more :)
After we ate Eli got to open his presents. He got some more wonderful gifts!

Krista made yet another fabulous cake. Eli is completely obsessed with shapes right now-so he LOVED this cake!

He still loves blowing out the candles :)

He wanted that cake!

But we wanted a few pictures first...

'MOM! I REALLY want my cake!'

'Why won't anyone give me my cake?!'

In the end he got his cake...but didn't eat any of it. He just played with the fondant shapes on it.

Leah was completely entertained... ;)

We got Eli a tricycle. He loved riding around on it...

...and he liked pushing Katie on it too :)

Abuelo got some snuggle time with Leah...

...then went out on the porch to push Eli.

Uncle Eliott got a turn pushing him too.

After a while we went to Abuelo's house. It's terrible, but we hadn't been able to get over there to introduce him to Leah. He had a cold, so he didn't get to hold her-yet. Hopefully we'll get over there again soon so he can snuggle her :)

Right before we left Edgar's uncle let his dogs in. Eli was THRILLED :)

It was a fun day. We got so caught up in the activities and excitement of the day, that I completely forgot to give Eli dinner...oops. He woke up the next morning, and the first thing he said to me was 'Breakfast?!'...ummm...I think he was hungry :)

Something tells me he got a bit spoiled this year. Hopefully he won't expect 3 birthday celebrations every year ;)
