Easter Traditions

As we all know, Easter is a time for egg hunts and it didn't take Eli long to catch on! His first hunt was with our MOPS group! It was a little rainy outside so the eggs were hidden inside. This was probably better for his first hunt since the eggs were easy to find. Once he realized what he was supposed to do there was not stopping him!!

Eli's Pappy and Mimi had an egg hunt for Eli and his cousins, Ashley and Megan. These were hidden a little better and Eli needed some help. We would point them out to him and he would go put them in his basket!! Needless to say, Eli got a lot of candy! He had a ball!!

Weekly Traumas

Lately, it seems that Eli has a traumatic experience every week. Two weeks ago it was tripping and hitting his chin on our window sil and creating quite the fat lip! Last week it was tripping and falling onto a wooden puzzle piece he was carrying in his hand and scratching his eye. This week it was getting stung by a carpenter bee while blowing bubbles in the back yard (no picture of that). Poor guy!!

Fat lip!

Injured eye!

These are just some goofy pictures of Eli. He really loves putting our shoes on! And he put these on all by himself!!

Happy Birthday!

We recently celebrated Eli's Gramme's and Aunt Tricia's birthdays at my sister, Carrie's, house. Knowing that Jolie loves to be pushed and Eli loves to push we thought we would try something out! Well, I think Aunt Tricia actually thought of it! So, here are some hilarious pictures of Eli pushing cousin Jolie around in a play stroller! Good idea, Aunt Tricia!!

And here is Eli on his Poppy's shoulders. This was my favorite spot as a kid!
