Eli and Josiah's Birthday Party in Chattanooga!

Last spring, Eli and Cousin Josiah were born 3 weeks apart. So when we knew that Michael, Katie, and Joe were going to be visiting in March, a party was inevitable! We had a joint family birthday party in Chattanooga at Coolidge Park including cake, presents, and a carousel ride! It was a wonderful time to visit with family and see the boys playing together! It would not have been so successful if it wasn't for the help of several people (I do like to delegate!). Thanks especially to Aunt Martha, Nana, Mom, and Diane for help with the food! We had a great brunch and I couldn't have picked a better brunch menu: Chick-Fil-A chicken mini's, pizza, sausage pinwheels, fruit, cupcakes, etc!!! I don't know how it worked out this way, but both of Eli's parties were catered with my FAVorite foods! :) Anyways, thanks again everybody!

Eli and Josiah in their matching birthday shirts! Aren't they precious?

We tried so hard to get a pic of the back of the shirts and finally we sent Jay outside to get their attention. The only problem is that Jay's not quite small enough to hide behind that pole! :)
YUM! Thanks Aunt Katie for the wonderful birthday cake!

Eli had loved all his presents! But his favorite so far is the farm tractor that Nana and Big Daddy got for him! Gotta remember our roots! Maybe mom can remember some "good" stories to tell Eli about growing up on a farm!

We loved the carousel, but I worried the whole time about all that cake and new foods that Eli had during the party making a reappearance!

Eli obviously loves singing and has recently learned to clap his hands. So "Happy Birthday" and being the center of attention was his favorite part of the party! How did I get so lucky? Gotta love this little boy!
