happy birthday eli

eli turns the big 0-4 today. we celebrated a few days ago with a bowling party. it was a lot lot of fun and the kids had a blast.

at times i thought i should have rented a wrestling ring instead of a bowling ally. that's the birthday boy on the bottom of the pile.

eli's fantastic friends...and eli in the middle of "i don't want to take a picture!"

the bowling ally gave him a pin to have his friends sign. he says it's his trophy for "getting points."

we love you so much eli! happy birthday!
