Last Saturday, we had Eli's first birthday party at our house. I guess I got a little carried away with it being his first birthday! Luckily the weather was beautiful because I'm not sure how we could have fit 50 people indoors.
Just a few of the many presents Eli recieved. There certainly won't be a shortage of cool toys or cute clothes in our house. You'll also notice a big white box on the table. We put together a time capsule for Eli to open on his 18th birthday. We asked everyone to bring something they thought would represent the year as well as a note with some advice for Eli when he is 18. Eli's time capsule is now filled with items, some of which are hilarious (a twinkie with a request to see if they really have a long shelf life) and touching (advice from dear family and friends) memories.
We had lots of help opening presents.
5 boxes of cake mix, 4 bags of powdered sugar, 2 pounds of butter, and every night for a week....that's what it took me to make Eli's first birthday cake! Next time we might just go with Costco! (The cupcakes were for all of the kids that came. You can't see it, but each one has their name on it).
Eli makes his first birthday wish!
Digging in to his cake! He did exactly what every one year old is supposed to do-he spread icing everywhere his little hands could reach.
This is another one of Eli's latests-sharing his food. It's almost as cute as his open mouth kisses!

Hey Martha Stewart... um, I mean Deanna! ;-) The party was such fun! You did an amazing job ~ Eli is lucky to have such a devoted Mommy. Can't wait to get together so the boys can "play" and we can visit. Soon, I hope!!!
Wow! That's a beautiful cake! Happy Birthday little Eli! We are thinking of you all, and hoping to see you soon!
