Happy Birthday Eli!!

It is so hard to believe that Eli is three years old. When he was born, three years could have been a thousand years for as far away as it sounded. But now it is here. He is getting so big and he is so much fun to watch. This year, I put a little more creativity into his birthday party. Kevin had the idea to have a kite party. So I bought some really cool kite-making kits from Kites in the Sky. I highly recommend the company and the product. They were fast and so friendly. We got the Frustrationless Flyers that kids could decorate then take home to fly on a nice day (it was raining cats and dogs the day of the party).

I made a kite-shaped double doozie cookie cake and had a great time doing it. We hung delta kites form the ceiling and mini kites from the chandelier. One of the great features of our new house is the great wide central hallway where we set up little tables (borrowed from the church) for the kids to make kites and eat. It was barely-controlled chaos but so much fun.
