Eli "SMASH" Birthday

Add caption

Oh, Home.  You smell funny.  And the only candle I have to rid the stench is a Christmas one.  Tis the season!  So yes, we are home.  Made it in today.  Boy, what a drive.  We were able to listen to some conference talks on the way, which the boys just loved... um... or loved that the talks helped them fall asleep?  I thoroughly enjoyed, though.  





Eli isn't 4 yet, but that didn't stop us from having an early birthday celebration!  With Grammie and Gramps!  And a bonfire!  With a really fun neighbor kid!  It was a fun filled Saturday, guys, for not only did we have a birthday celebration at our house for lunch, but the neighbor kid had his birthday celebration that evening at his house.  Holy smokes.

I'm not sure how Eli feels about his birthday.  It's a lot of pressure for him to pick a theme--which has resulted in many tears on many different occasions.  But I think he was pretty happy with The Avengers, and super excited for his gift.  Thanks Grammie and Gramps!  Another b-day celebration will be happening soon, but for now let's enjoy these photos:

Wood a bit wet from the rainy days during the week.  Can't get it really started.
Probably should throw some gasoline on it!   It was an awesome show ;) 

 4 years old!
(And yes, those are many different kinds of candles.  It's called "fun," okay?)

Must put on costumes!  (Which we take with us when we go visit, of course.)

Titus is joining in on the costume fun. 

We were all a little shocked to see Titus naked, including Titus.  It's a tricky thing getting shorts off without taking undies off too.
