The Fire Truck Party!

When we were trying to decide on a theme for Eli’s birthday party, I was looking at invitations on the internet to get ideas.  I asked him if he liked several of them and he said no.  Then he saw one with a fire truck on it, he pointed at it and said, “I want that fire truck for my birthday party!”  So, I made him a fire truck cake (my Mom helped).  It was my first big cake.  I stayed up till all hours of the night and there were lots of crumbs in the frosting, but Eli loved it anyway so that’s all that counts.  In the picture on the right he is saying two and holding up two fingers.

Grandma and Papa got Eli a tricycle, which he absolutely loves.  We got him a wagon and in this pic he is riding in it with all his other loot.  He got lots of fun things from Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and friends.

Eli blew out the candles and then dug into the cake and ice-cream.

The kids played “stick the balloon an the fire truck” and went for rides in the wagon.
