Let the birthday festivities begin!

Nick and I were busy tonight after Eli went to sleep... Can't wait for him to wake up!!!

Birthday fun at Gran & Papa Mike's!

After a wonderful Thanksgiving feast at Gran & Papa Mike's, we also celebrated Eli's 5th Birthday!

Car Wash = Popcorn!

Eli loves getting the car washed... and snacking on some popcorn while we wait!

Road trip to Green Valley!

My cousin Claire and her kiddos were in town from Texas. My Aunt lives near the Twin Cities, so we planned a day to road trip to Big Papa & Big Mama (Grandma & Grandpa Mac's) home in Green Valley, MN. I didn't get a picture of Claire and I with the kiddos... nevertheless, we had such a wonderful time!

Me with Jake & Eli in the back.

My Grandma Mac (aka Big Papa) and I with Jake & Eli. Love this!

The kiddos with Big Papa!

Lots of memories hanging out in that kitchen... and more made today!

What a great picture of Big Mama & the boys!

Birthday fun with friends!

 Eli invited some friends from school over for a little Ninja Turtle Birthday celebration!
