You know, this house doesn't seem small to me until you try squeezing 6 extra adults and all their stuff into it for the weekend! (And 4 of the adults slept outside in a tent!)
It was so fun to have Grammy and Grandpa Bird, Alan and Tara, and Jarren and Stephanie come spend the 4th of July weekend with us to help celebrate Eli's 1st birthday! We celebrated it on the Sunday, the 3rd, and Grandma and Grandpa Nelson came, too, and brought Great-Grandma Nelson! It was a party all around :)
Eli didn't think he wanted to be all that cooperative when he woke up from his much-too-short afternoon nap in a very cranky mood, but thanks to the wisdom of Grandma Nelson, pulling out the swimming pool changed his frown to a smile pretty darn quickly.
And he especially loved being able to eat adult food, directly from Grandma's plate, while continuing to play in the pool!
Next, it was time to open the presents. He got a much needed new car seat from mom and dad. He was getting big for his infant carrier. He got a lot of new clothes from the Bird side, a new book, and a huge, gigantic 4.5' stuffed bear from the Nelsons. He made out!!!!!
His favorite was to see how long he could keep everyone clapping with him:
And don't forget the wrapping paper!
We did things a little out of order. I know usually you eat cake and ice cream and then open gifts, but we did the opposite. So, now we bring out his first cupcake AND...
Not interested...
Not at all interested...
Nope, he never even took one taste of his cake, not even of the icing! Oh well. Glad I didn't spend a lot of money on it :) We love you! Happy Birthday!!!!!
