Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Eli!

Today was a wonderful day to celebrate Elijah turning 3! We have been talking about this for awhile now so Eli was super excited when he woke up this morning! We started off with his favorite breakfast, cinnamon rolls. Then we let him open the presents from us. He did great opening his presents. He had to have us help him get it started on a few but he opened the majority of them on his own. Jude did pretty well while Eli was opening his presents he kept bringing them to me and saying open, but he never got upset when we said that they were for Eli's birthday. He was also happy to hold the already opened presents!

This afternoon we had a Superhero birthday party for Eli. It was such a great party for him. He had so much fun playing with his cousins and some friends. We are truly blessed with a wonderful family and friends. Eli got to open his presents and then we had cake and ice cream. Then there was lots of time to play!

It really was such a wonderful day for Eli! This is really the first year that he has fully understood his birthday and he just soaked it all up. I told him he would always be my baby boy and he told me that he had to be a big boy now because he is 3! Thank you to all our family and friends for helping us celebrate Eli today. :-)
