Eli's out of this World 5th Birthday!

Eli turned five in January, and of course this called for a celebration! So Mom planned a space birthday party. Eli wanted to play pin the tail on the donkey and have a pinata. Well mom didnt want to have 5 years olds swinging a bat at an unseen object so she made some mini pinatas for the kids to take home (making the mess elsewhere, ha ha ha). We also played pin the planet on the orbit and made alien masks for the kids to wear. Of course the went through all the activities super fast, so we finally gave in and let the kids play.
(Pictures to be added soon)

For his birthday Eli wanted chicken nuggets and apple pie. So a chicken nugget making mom, aunt Anna, Uncle Ben and Daddy went. All was going well until the grease bubbled over causing a small fire, but thankfully no one was hurt and no damage was done, except to the stove drip pan and lid used to quelch the flames (on a side note, make sure you turn off the burner, cause if you don't the flames will continue!) Anyway, dinner finished without disaster and Eli got some cool presents including a Flash costume, more play-doh, warm snugly blanket,other things I can't remember right now. But it was a fun evening spent with family!

It is the FLASH!!!!

Happy Birthday to Eli!

Eli wanted a cupcake maker for his birthday, but both mom and Grandma could bring themselves to do it, so grandma got stuff to make cupcakes and her and Eli make and decorated cupcakes together. (Grandpa later came through with a big remote control truck for Eli's enjoyment!, way to go Grandpa!)
