Happy Birthday Eli!!!

Today Eli turns 4. We now have two 4 year olds in our house for another 8 months! It was so easier when I could say one was 3 and one was 4. We celebrated Eli's birthday on Thanksgiving (pictures to come). Of course we have to do something special on his BIG day! He requested fruit loops for breakfast (mom doesn't buy those kinds of cereals except for special occasions) and noodles for dinner. He LOVES to slurp up spaghetti! Grandma Nana and Papa Rees will be joining us for dinner tonight. He asked for a Buzz Lightyear cake. We'll see how that one goes, picture later because I have not frosted it yet.

4 Reasons we are so happy to have Eli with us:

1. His smile. Even when he is in trouble he crinkles his eyes and his nose along with a great big smile and hopes that will get him out of trouble!

2. He loves to socialize. He is everyones friend. When I say everyone, I mean everyone! He loves every person old or young, but preferably female! At school, at home, at the park, at church, at the store, in the elevator, the list goes on and on. He talks to everyone!


3. He is a GREAT listener. Of all my kids he is the ONLY one that on the first time I ask he does it!!!!

4. They way he slurps his noodles. Totally a kid through and through. Give this kid any long noodle and guaranteed he WILL slurp it. My grandpa used to teach this to all the kids when they were little. Eli never had a chance to meet him, but he continues on the legacy of noodle slurping!

We love you Eli and hope your birthday is a good one!!!
