Eli's Second Birthday Celebration

We got together at James & Amanda's to celebrate Eli's 2nd birthday.

Lots of fun & noise! Eli (& the rest of the kids) had fun

with all his new toys. Future soccer star!

It was the year of the dinosaur toys. This

is a plastic puppet that roars.

Roaring back at the dinosaur

Eli wasn't too sure about this dinosaur. It roars & moves.

He was fascinated with it but kind of scared too.

Scary dinosaur or "roar" as Eli calls it.

Blowing out the candles -he was kind of

upset when everyone started singing for him.

We celebrated Owen's 3rd birthday this past Sunday. Lots of people!:) Later in the day we went outside & played in the snow. Egan & Owen try out Owen's new trike. The bell was a big hit with all the kids.
Eli likes this view from the back of the trike.

It took a while to blow out this candle!

John gave his old snowboard a try but it wasn't

very slick. Les tried giving him a start.

Eli enjoyed sitting in the brush & eating snow.

got the sticks away from the kids. :)

It's been a while since I've posted so I decided to just start from now. We had Kate's girls overnight last weekend. They did some painting/print making & we took a hike through the woods, checked out the ice on the pond & shoveled off a little skating rink & did some sledding. There wasn't a lot of snow but enough to slide down our little hill. Grace & Eva making snow angels
