The second birthday party

I wasn’t going to run today, because of getting ready for Eli’s second party. So I talked myself into running 1 mile.

Ended with 9.26 miles.

I don’t normally run this route, but I’m glad I did. There were a dozen antelope, out here just grazing in the field. I didn’t take the above picture, but this is what they would have looked like if I went running with my telephoto lens camera. 🙂

And the balloon blowing begins. Last year we did two balloon arches. 240 balloons 🙂 With Eli’s party last Friday, we decided we only had the energy for one arch. So we only blew up 120 balloons.

We started the day with breakfast. Waffles and ice cream with strawberry sauce.

Dinner was vegetable tortellini soup with homemade crusty bread and honey from our hives.

After dinner, we ALL bounced in the bouncy house. There was a basketball hoop in the house so we all played a game.

I even got my parents in the house!

Eli had so much fun!

I had a lot of fun bouncing with my boy!

Eli opened gifts.

Eli requested an ice cream cake. Again, to make things easier, Dairy Queen made the delicious peanut butter cup blizzard ice cream cake. I have never had one of these, and it was REALLY good. Yes, I cut the cake before taking the picture 🙂

After cake, we brought out the virtual reality game. Yes, this is my brother and this is how he acts ALL the time! This is why our Monday lunches are such fun and I look forward to the first of the week!

We are always entertained with these two!

Remember him??

Between the two birthdays, he received a lot of legos. He couldn’t wait to put them together. He is getting pretty good at following the instructions!

Eli really enjoyed his two days of partying! Happy birthday little Pea!!
