Eli is Two!!!

It's hard to believe Eli is two years old already. He is such a big boy now! We had a fun time having neighbors and family over last night for Eli's birthday party. He loved opening presents, especially getting Star Wars things.


The funniest part was after I put the kids to bed (late) and went downstairs to clean up. I jumped into bed around 10:30pm and heard some noise coming from Eli's room. Then I recognized Eli is singing "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, etc, etc" at the top of his lungs! He had been in bed for almost an hour and still hadn't gone to sleep from all the excitement. That is what happens when you eat 3 cupcakes and candy for dinner, I guess. Talk about a sugar high:) I had to laugh and then tell the Birthday Boy to go to sleep!
