Eli turned 3 this week! He has been SOOOO excited about his birthday. What he wanted was ALL his friends in one place and a Buzz Lightyear cake. We were able to deliver on both things! I only had pictures of the cakes and the table on my camera...I ran out of batteries!! However, Stefani, www.stefanimarcus.com , took pictures of the party for me. I will post them once I get them from her =)
Eli has asked me every day for WEEKS..."am I free yet?" And I answer, "no, you are still 2." He responds, "I have been 2 for wots and wots and wots and wots of days!!" I have assured him that he will be 3 for just as many days.
The people who he wanted at his party (and who all showed up!!) were Mommy and Daddy, WaWa and Josie, Anne and Ida, Paige, Allie, and Baby Jack, Miss Anita (his babysitter who he LOVES as much as his family!, and his friends from Miss Anita's house...Aiden, Raegan, and Kennedy. We had the party at a splash park, which was SO much fun! Everybody got a bucket to play with in the water with water toys. Eli picked each person's bucket and filled it for them. He was so excited to get everything ready for all his friends.
He also wanted a Buzz Lightyear cake which we got from a friend in Nowata. It turned out fabulous and he LOVED it!! He and I made alien cupcakes to take to Miss Anita's and to the party. He put the eyes and horns on each of them. He picked out all the plates, napkins, juice boxes, etc. This was the first year that he was very involved in his party.
I have decided next year we are having his birthday the minute he wakes up though. I answered the question "is it my party yet?" a million times on Thursday!! Luckily Anne and Ida went to the park with us and played for 3 hours to pass the LONG day!!
More pics to come soon!!
