Eli is a Good Boy

My baby turned one this week!
This little guy has been such fun to have in our family.
He loves to laugh and do whatever his big brothers are doing (or at least try to!)
Some of his favorite games are being chased and "cleaning out" the kitchen cabinets.
His favorite food is currently marker tips.

Andrew was out of town most of the week, so we waited until Saturday to have a little birthday celebration. We decided to start with presents since cake tends to be a little messy.
Once he realized he could tear the paper, he was all over it.

After much opening and playing, we moved on to CAKE!

I made these Mini Boston Cream Pies (but with banana pudding... mmm!)


and Eli got a mini star cake with whipped cream all for himself.
He was surprisingly dainty about eating it - at least at first...check it out.
