5 Years

Today is Eli's 5th birthday! This time 5 years ago my family and I had gone black friday shopping and I wasn't feeling very well that night. Then my water broke while Kaelub was at Walmart and my brother went to find him. (He hadn't taken his cell phone with him.) 18 hours later Eli was born and we became parents for the first time. Eli is such a sweet boy with a stubborn streak. He loves to be outside and ride his bike or play at the park. His favorite movie today is Toy Story 3 and his favorite color today is blue. (That changes daily!) For his choice of birthday dinner he wanted a happy meal from McDonalds, or as he calls it "Mickey Donalds". Yesterday he told me that when he turned 5 his hands were going to be big like daddy's. He was a little disappointed this morning to see he had the same size hands. :) We are so glad to have this energetic boy in our family!
