We decided to take a low key approach to Eli's birthday party... no need to go crazy on a party he won't remember and doesn't understand, right? And I am beginning to realize the challenge of having a child with a birthday in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, so low key sounded really good to me this year.
It was a small gathering of 'big kids' - mostly friends from the athletic department and volleyball staff. My pictures were really dark and grainy... not sure why... but you'll get the idea!

The birthday duds.
Eli must have known something was going on as he kept hanging out
by the front door and looking out the window! |

| The birthday cupcakes. |
 |
The birthday chair.
This was a gift from Josh's parents... it was the perfect present-opening spot. |
|
| The guests. (Some of them, at least) |
 |
| The presents. (Even though we said NO presents! Rule breakers!) |
 |
| YUM! |
 |
The Birthday Boy.
Looking so much less like a baby and more like a little boy already! |
Still to come... the infamous cupcake birthday card. Stay tuned!
