Happy Birthday!!!--Sept. 24, 2011

Eli is 2 years old!!  Last night we had a little get-together with family to celebrate!  Since Oliver's birthday is next weekend, we ended up celebrating both of their birthdays.  (Oliver gets his "friends" party next Saturday...which he absolutely CANNOT wait for!)  Here are a few photos from the evening...

Most of the kids enjoyed supper out on the deck...which allowed us adults to enjoy our supper inside!
(Eli, Caroline, Addie, Ty, Brett, and Oliver) 


 This year, instead of doing a regular hit-with-a-stick pinata, we tried a pull-string one that I would HIGHLY recommend!  (The pinata has 20+ ribbons hanging from the bottom, but only one of them opens the trapdoor which lets out all of the candy.)  All of the kids had a turn, and on the second time around, Eli pulled the special ribbon and...


 ...out came the candy and toys!

 Now it's Eli's turn


 Eli's new bike and helmet!  We decided to get a pedal-less bikes for him to try.  (One of my cousins bought one for his little boy who now balances going up and down hills at the age of 2 1/2.)  We'll see how Eli does with his!


 Oliver's "small" birthday cake...he'll get his "big" one next weekend at his other party!
