The years just keep on passing faster than I would ever hope, but there is something sweet about watching your babies grow up into kids and then see those kids start to grow up into pretty cool young people!
Eli kicks off the birthdays for the year. He is the biggest breakfast fan you could ever have! I joke that I will tell his wife someday that the way to his heart is through a big breakfast!
I was very surprised that with all the options available for his birthday breakfast that he picked french toast, but I had the great idea to make a charcuterie for him and all the kids now think that THIS was the best birthday breakfast yet!
With Peter just starting a new job and taking the next week off he wasn't able to get the day off like we normally do, but Eli was very gracious and we made sure to make the day as special as we could. He had a blast building new lego sets and playing video games all day and then that night we went on the hunt for football trading cards, more legos, dinner and frozen yogurt!
The next day we had a little party for our guy! He had quite the little helper!
My mom made the cake as usual. He requested Mandalorian and Boba Fett
He got even more legos
And a fun soccer goal that is sure to destroy what remains of the yard, but they are enjoying it :)
Happy 11th Birthday Eli! You are such a joy to our family! I've really seen growth in your life this year as you continue to leave being a little boy behind and grow more into a young man. I am glad that even as you grow, you still have enough of a little boy in you to play and have fun. You are becoming more and more responsible and are fun to talk with and watch play sports. You're becoming more sarcastic and love to make jokes about us as your parents. I am okay with that though! We love you so much and I can't wait to watch you grow even more in the year ahead!
