Happy 1st Birthday Elijah!

Tuesday was Elijah's first birthday, so we had a few close family members over for pizza and cake to celebrate. Elijah just ate up the attention and was so happy to be around so many people who love him.

I made my Elijah bear a teddy bear cake!

Uncle Tim!

Mimi and Poppy - funny picture, but poppy looks good! We'll get another one at Christmas :)

Happy boy!!!

His Aunties! (he's signing more and saying "pees" in that picture begging for cheetos hahaha)

Me and my boy!

A John Deere tractor toy /book from Papa and Nana

A car set from Uncle Tim

And a silly shirt from Tim too :)

Playing with his tractor

A tubby toy from Aunties! Looking forward to using that!

As well as a super cute bear outfit! Perfect!

By the end he was an expert at opening gifts! He'll be ready for Christmas :).

A music table from mommy and daddy!

And a ride on car from Grammy and Boppy!!! One of Boppy's treasures from the side of the road he found and fixed up for him. He LOVES it - note the cheesy smile face!

Time for cake!

He has his own little bear smash cake...this was hilarious!

He kept taking a big bite then making this face

The remains of the cake hahaha My best girls

Auntie Ally was the tickle monster...

After he was washed up from the cake he went right back to playing...love this little guy!

Happy Birthday Sweet Elijah!!! We love you very very much!
