Eli's 5th Birthday


My baby turned 5 on November 4th. This year he got to enjoy 3 birthday parties. First was the one in Sioux Falls which all these pictures are from. We got to stay at a hotel with a small water park in it which was the perfect size for the boys cause the pool didn't get over 3 foot deep. He enjoyed a Hulk cake and even got a new bigger bike from Grandpa & Mimi Spoo. Next he had a small birthday party at our house on his actual birthday "Election Day". Nick and I felt so bad the day before we were talking about going and voting and Eli started to cry cause he thought that we were going to have to vote all day and wouldn't be able to spend his birthday with him at all. That evening we had Grandpa & Mimi Spoo and Grandpa & Grandma Hanson come out for lasagna and jello cake. He enjoyed having a small little party. That weekend his favorite present arrived. His aunt Liz flew back from Las Vegas to celebrate his birthday along with our niece Aubrey's birthday which is the 10th. Liz has always been home during Isaac's birthday in the summer and this year was the first year that Eli asked Liz why she never comes home for his birthday so it just happened that it worked out for her. Eli was so excited to get that as a present.. even Isaac said it was the best present ever even though it wasn't his birthday. Those boys have a special bond with their Aunt Lizzie they love her dearly as they do the rest of their aunt & uncles.
He was also excited that he got to celebrate his birthday with Aubrey. The boys absolutely love their cousins. They have a special bond with them too. They take such good care of Aubrey and when Imrie gets older they will enjoy her even more! It was so nice to get a chance to spend a whole weekend with the whole family! We are all looking forward to Christmas when we will all be together again!
