Happy Birthday!

Eli is now 11!
He started his birthday morning with a BIG breakfast (bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs with chorizo, orange juice, milk, waffles, and compote). His gifts were small, but he was happy and grateful!

He got to light his own birthday waffle candles, although, only 10 candles went out:( He was definitely disappointed in his blow...

The family was just waking up to a great breakfast.

Notice the slight puffiness and dark color under Eli's right eye...his whole baseball team came over to our home last night for a BBQ (BBQ courtesy of Coach Wood) and Eli sustained an elbow to the face...I guess Hyrum didn't want to leave without giving you a birthday present?

Eli, you are priceless! Your kind and gentle manner endears you to my heart. You are a wonderful big brother! And our family is only complete with you in it! Happy Birthday! I'll always love you!
