Last Saturday, May 23rd, we were invited to Eli's third birthday party! It was a blast! A family only affair which sat Xander right next to Eli in the action seat! There were games of creative invention such as tire rolling, bucket fishing and treats for the winners and the second place finishers! Hamburgers, cake and good company kept adults and children alike entertained and a fire to wrap things up!
This is the tire rolling event! The boys needed a little help, but didn't mind! Their tongues were sticking out the side of their mouths in concentration most of the time...I don't know if you can see that on the pictures very well.
Going Fishing!
The big boys needed to give the tire race a try as well....on a little larger scale! I think Dad had the advantage for most of the race and then lost it right at the end!
Avery and Jonah did great! I forgot my kids hats which is why Jonah has temporarily borrowed one to Avery and he is left with a small one perched on his head...a bigger one was eventually found!
A new slide was the big birthday present from Eli's Grandma and Grandpa Hogue! It was quite a hit!
It was soon discovered that there were MANY different ways to go down the slide!
Monkey see, monkey do!
Sitting in their chairs, eating candy! I love Eli's face in this shot!
The happy family with their two boys (now 3 and 6.5 months)!
Jonah's favorite thing! A guaranteed laugh comes whenever Dustin throws him up on his shoulders and shakes him and tickles him! It is hilarious! I'm not sure who's having more fun here, though!
Eli had a great hockey cake made by Julia! It was pretty fantastic! After Eli blew out the candles Xander wanted to do the same, so Julia very patiently re-lit them and let Xander have a go as well!
Thanks to all for a great time! Welcome to year three Eli!
Xander actually thinks he's three now, too!
