Gabe and Eli's B-day Party

Since Eli and his daddy share the same birthday month, we decided to join them together (let's face it, it really was all about Eli). The one thing that Eli has asked for all year was a pinata. He has never had one and every time we go to Winco and walk down the water isle there they all are.. So we told him yes. It has nothing to do with the somewhat airplane theme i was sticking to - but oh well.... He got his pinata.


It was my family, Wendy and Milo and good friends of Gigi and Papa - Pete and Diana.

Milo was first in line to smash in the Harley

Then Sethie's turn... He didnt really like doing it at first, then his dad came to help him out
Then it was Cora's turn - Gigi had to help her out with this one - the stick was so long that she could barley hold it up
Kenna went next... She got some pretty nice hits in, but still no candy
Then it was Eli's turn.. The kid went crazy on it, he also had alot of help from Sammy who surprisingly never got hit.. Eli did manage to hit the front wheel off and then one more hit after that and it came crashing down.
Then it was candy collecting time. Eli, Kenna and Seth had no problems with this part. Cora kept putting candy in Seth's bag. She had a sucker in each had, so was good to go.

He got some pretty cool gifts... and made some pretty wonderful faces.

Uncle Bret and Mimi got this for him.. They also got one for Sethie so they could battle together. Probably Eli's coolest gift EVER.... he said..

Gabe wanted a cake that him mom used to make for my birthdays and Eli wanted something with a airplane on top.... There is a little cupcake shop here, so we went there and ordered Eli's one cupcake, which he shared with the rest of the kids. He passed out the clouds and let them all sample the plane.
