Eli's Birthday Party

We had a little birthday party for Elias at Sophia's house (Sophia is Eli's birth sister, who was adopted and now lives in New Hope). The kids enjoyed playing on the swing set, here Milena and Sophia team up.

The Birthday Boy comes down the slide.

Milena climbs into the tree house.

Kelson (being very safe, with his hood up) takes his turn on the slide.

Time to finish decorating the cake. Sprinkles!

Kelson patiently waits to put his candle on.

Perfect placement!

Eli gets to open presents. Yikes!

Sophia being cute.

Koleman was there too.

Walter also came along, but at some point he was discarded onto the floor. Poor Walter.

Eli is excited to be able to blow out his candles and eat his cake. In the morning, he helped me make the cake, even cracking eggs and using the mixer.

Excellent air flow!

Saying goodbye at the end of the party. The kids had a blast, and it's always great to see Sophia and her family.
