This year we had a family party at Mom and Dad's for both of the boys. Mom made her famous pizza (at Oliver's request) which was awesome! We bought a pinata for the boys (and Brett, Addie, and Ty) to enjoy. Eli was not sure about the whole thing and would barely even hold the stick!
Oliver, on the other hand, would have swung at it all night! After all of the kids had a turn, Oliver eventually broke it!
Oliver opening presents
Eli opening presents...well actually we opened them for him. He was slightly overwhelmed by the experience!
This look of slight terror was pretty much the expression on Eli's face all evening! I guess getting in four of his top teeth wasn't helping the situation!
Our family
Eli was very clean with his cake! When Oliver turned one, he had cake all over himself, including his stomach! Eli just kind of picked at with his fingers, took a few bites, and was finished! Oh, well!
Instead of a cake, Oliver wanted me to make Figgy Pudding for his birthday dessert. For the last couple of years, he and I made it for Pat's birthday. I think Oliver thought it would be a pretty tasty alternative to cake!

I love the pictures! I cannot believe how big the boys are getting! Wow! Everyone looks happy and healthy. Wish we could see you again sometime. My brother is moving to Colorado. Perhaps sometime we can stop in Kansas on a trip out there.
