Eli's 1st Birthday

As a few people have pointed out to me, it has been a LONG time since I've posted anything. We were gone to California, Utah, and Idaho for 3+ weeks for the holidays, and now I've procrastinated blogging. So, here is the first catching up post.

Yes, Eli turned the big ONE on Dec 23rd. We were in California visiting my family when we celebrated his birthday. Here are a few gems for your viewing enjoyment...

The pre-cake birthday boy with his excited mama. Thank you Dollar Tree for providing the embarrassing birthday headband/crown that will now be a tradition.

Instead of a cake we made bug cupcakes. They turned out really cute.

Ah, there is order in the universe. My child is indeed a chocolate lover.

And then there were the presents.

It's hard to contain the excitement. Jake gets a kick out of this picture.
