Party Time (Part 2)

Here are some pictures of the party underway. Everyone was spread throughout the middle and bottom levels of our house. When it was time to sing happy birthday, we all piled into the kitchen to sing and watch to see what Eli would do with his birthday cupcake. He didn't really like all eyes on him. He looked a little nervous and daintily touched the chocolate frosting. Kevin fed him a few bites, but he wanted out of his high chair and back to playing.

Thank you to everyone for celebrating this milestone with us and for your generous gifts. It was great seeing you all and spending time with you!

The party animals- Paul and Gregory Papadimitris, Cameron Khattak, and Conner White

Lilly Barker is 5 days older than Eli and at least 5-7 pounds lighter. She was so sweet and calm. What a difference between boys and girls. We sat them next to each other to take their picture, and Eli took off like a wild man...

...while Lilly sat still like a good little girl!

"What's going on here? Why are you all looking at me?"

"Ok, I'm weirded out. Mom, out of my chair, please!"

Eli LOVED this truck from Aunt Jo

He lost interest in all the other gifts and started pushing it around instead

"Yum, socks. Thanks Flemings. This is a pretty awesome hat, too!"

Mina brought out a cake in honor of her grandpa's birthday
