Birthday Overload!

Well, no birthday weekend would be complete without some pictures!  So, here's some shots of Eli's 2nd Birthday party!

 We had his party over the weekend but still had a celebration yesterday on his actual birthday.  We started the morning with some birthday pancakes!

We decided that this year we would have Peter take off the kids birthday's, find someone to watch the other kids and have a special day one-on-one with the birthday kid.  We started by taking Mr E to a park where he played and played and played!  He wore daddy out before he wore down!

 He loved the big slide so much!  And laughed hysterically at Daddy trying to race him down it.  By the time he was done, he had some pretty good speed going on!

When we finally convinced him it was time to leave the park, we headed off to get some lunch.  Poor guy was getting pretty sleepy by this point!

After lunch, we decided to go for a bit of a drive and let him get some sleep before taking him to the toy store to pick out a new toy.  We sat in the car for a good 20 minutes after getting there and let him have a 45 minute or so nap.  That was not enough and I guess we should have called it a day after lunch because he just really did not enjoy himself.  We finally got him out of the toy story with a new ball and he seemed happy enough.

Before calling it quits though, we had to make one more stop to get a free birthday scoop of ice cream for little man!
