happy birthday to US!

Eli had a fun birthday today! 

we slept in, had waffles for breakfast, opened presents! 

wauwau and papa came for a few hours and brought Eli even more presents!

Eli had no lunch because he was too busy playing.

He certainly found time for his cake though.

WHO taught him that this is how you eat cake???

(actually, he always finds time (and an appetite) for snacks.

but then again, so do i.

Mike took him to the truck and tractor pull tonight and Eli was in his glory!

i stayed home with this little man...

tomorrow we will be celebrating MY birthday just lounging at home... 

the 4 of us.

a mohawk and a pacifier really don't mix

maybe in our pjs all day.

and taking lots of naps.

(can you tell i'm tired?)

happy 2nd birthday Eli!
you will always be my first baby.
you will always have a very special BIG place in my heart.
you made me mommy.
you taught me how to love like i never knew i could.
