Eli is five! He is such a joy to our family. He asks me amazingly complex questions daily that I don't always have the answer to and is full of energy. He loves to play outside, ride tractors/golf carts/lawnmower at his grandparents' houses. He enjoys sword fights and Nintendo with Isaac, and  playing with Olivia. The really get along super well. He's always willing to share his candy with her, helps her off the bar stools, and gets her water. He's a good big brother. He's very independent. He takes a bath (including hair washing and body) by himself, can make a  PB & J  or turkey sandwich with mayo. He's very adept at making chocolate milk as well.

He had lots of parties; two cakes plus cupcakes this year. He wanted to go snow tubing so we had a small party for him before his birthday while the tubing place was still open. Eli and his cousin Carter had the best time. They were sledding non-stop the entire time.

We made cupcakes together and took them to his pk class on his actual birthday and then he had a party with friends at the park on March 21st. This boy sure was celebrated.

 I had him answer these questions on his birthday this year. It's so cute to see how his answers change year to year.
