The day is here! Happy 1st Birthday Eli!
Last night I decorated for the occasion.
We had a huge 3-foot balloon filled with helium (but it wasn't floating this morning, unfortunately) and also got a regular helium balloon at the store last night, so he had a great time playing with them this morning.
We think he could tell it was a special day for him!
We sang happy birthday about 20 times.
Below are some fun gifts from friends and family - an engraved journal from Ben's parents, darling Robeez red/brown monkey shoes from Neil and Jolene (he's shaking them in the picture), a toy guitar from me and Ben, and a cute package from Stephanie - I love to email cool sewing projects that I see online because she is amazing at that stuff - so for Eli's birthday, Steph sent him a "1" onesie and a diaper/wipes pouch! (and a cute book too) I was laughing when I realized they were ideas I had sent her way. :)
My parents are coming over later today and I'm sure we'll have more birthday festivities as the day goes on. I'm throwing Eli and Ben a combined birthday party next week since Ben turns 30 in a few days. It's fun to make the celebrations last as long as possible, right? :)

Quinton says to live it up on your first birthday! Be sure to mash cake in your hair and face and anywhere else you mom can't get to, wink, wink!
Good thing your mom is so awesome and makes it a super special day!

You need to add picyures of Eli eating his birthday cake!
HBday to the little man.
Happy Birthday Eli, expect a VERY late birthday card in the mail... it's late, I spent the day at Berkeley picking up new glasses, and we're off to Burney tomorrow. Then we move to Lompoc the day after we get home, so I am a little behind on things...
Such cute decorations, Sarah. Happy Birthday to Eli!
Happy Birthday Eli! That year went by SO FAST... and he's not even mine. Love the diaper wipes case from Steph. She presented me w/ my AMAZING diaper bag this weekend in the SAME PATTERN and told me we were twinners! So fun!:)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELI!! Your such a sweet boy!
I can't believe he is already one!!! I guess time goes by faster when I don't see him every day. He is totally cute, and I'm sure he loves to try his new walking skills out all over the place. He will want to be a lot more independent soon.
