Thursday, I drove the boys up to New Jersey. John hasn't been able to be around for any of Eli's birthday parties so we celebrated a bit early this weekend since he'll be missing the third birthday in a row for his little man.
We just had a small family party in Grandma's back yard. Eli was over the moon that this entire party was for him! He loved every second: including the 9:15 bed time!
 |
| I can't believe he's almost THREE!! |
 |
| My baby boy's pink toes: such a contradiction to his personality. |
 |
| He even sang happy birthday to himself! |
 |
| The requested dump truck cake, full of "dirt." |
 |
| He was a fan! |
 |
| A worm was trying to escape. |
 |
| A Daddy with his favorite boys. |
 |
| Deacon graced us with his sweet presence later in the party. |
 |
| The favorite toy from us! It's a Bruder crane truck and it's fantastic! |
 |
| Try to be patient while opening a gift of clothing. |
 |
| I think he thought it was odd to just have picture taken with us (and no brothers). |
 |
| The biggest brother was so patient while Eli was opening gifts! |
 |
| He couldn't lift the container of dirt in to his dump truck... |
 |
| Deacon had his first taste of ice cream. |
 |
| Turner always enjoys running after the ice cream truck! |
 |
| While we were cleaning up, I told the boys to just dig in to the rest of the cake. They obliged by the shovel full. |
 |
| Eli thought the "dirt" was awesome. |
 |
| "Mommy, if I have to do 'three' one more time..." |

what lovely pictures and I love the "dirt"
I can't believe how different and older Eli looks with that haircut! Looks like a fun party! Jack and Casey love the "dirt" too, although they haven't eaten it with shovels yet.
I love Eli's new hair! And that dirt cake looks yummyyyy :)
