Birthday Part 2

"You say it’s your birthday 
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy birthday to you"
 Love that song by the Beatles! 

We learned a new tradition this year from Madeline's friend, Frances!  In her family, when it's your birthday, you get streamers on your door frame!  
Love it - we can do that!  Eli loved it when he woke up!! 


We went into the living room to open a few presents and read cards from our out of town family!!! 
He got a new bike!!  He really needed a bigger size and we found this one on Craig's list!



He's been wanting gloves like Daddy for more than a year!


Mimi and Pop sent him a new train set with really flexible tracks, a tunnel, and a train that has a headlight that lights up and has a remote control to go forward or backward!  



He loved all the cards, too!  Thank you to Non, Granny, Aunt Stephie, Uncle Chris, Jake, Morgen, Uncle Mark, Aunt Kathy, Dacee and Ryen, and Uncle Barry and Aunt Bonnie!

With his dinosaur cupcakes for Mrs. Merritt's class at Downtown Elementary!


His birthday was on a Thursday, our violin day most weeks.  Our awesome teacher, Mrs. Ann, comes to our house to teach Madeline and Eli.  Our friend Lindsey started taking violin a while ago, too, and comes for her lesson at our house.  After violin, most Thursdays, we have dinner and a play date! 

Here we are singing Happy Birthday and about to eat a lizard shaped brownie!


YUM!


Good buddies!


Before bed, he just had to ride that bike!!!!!  


Great day to celebrate!!
