Happy Birthday, Happy Easter!

It was Kaelub's birthday on the 22nd and we had his brother and his 2 kids here from Las Vegas. Kaelub couldn't ever remember his birthday being so close to Easter, but it worked out well that we could celebrate with family. His nieces are 5 yrs & 6 months and I've decided I'm so lucky that Eli is such a calm & happy baby. Don't get me wrong--I love the girls too, but I was so worn out by the time they left. I can see why my sister-in-law stayed in Las Vegas and sent them all here. :) I made Kaelub's choice for dinner on Sunday--he wanted turkey. And I even made my Aunt Jill's famous homemade rolls just for him. Kaelub loves chocolate cake, and I did a double layer one and I must say it was probably one of the best tasting cakes we have had in a long time! He is so spoiled. And I surprised him with the 3rd season of The Office--his favorite show. He didn't even have a clue, which for those of you who know him with gifts, he's so snoopy! I think he has somehow found out at least one gift he is getting for Christmas & birthday every year. We were hoping Eli would get the idea of how fun it is to eat rice cereal when he watched Bella eat her baby food, but he still hates when we try to feed him it. Oh well--I guess we will keep trying.

Happy Birthday! Shawn wishes he could have been there to eat your chocolate cake!! I love looking at the pics of Eli - he is like a mini Kaelub. How old is Kaelub now - 43?? Hope you guys are enjoying nice weather - we're jealous of that too.
